Apply: Don McLester Adventuring Stupidity Scholarship 2027

Apply for $5000 of adventure funding

Digital Handshake of Honour & Nobility

Don & Sarah have created this scholarship to help people who yearn for a slice of Adventurists flavoured chaos but don't have enough cash on hand to make it work this year.

If you've got a trust fund, or Daddy pays your rent even though you're 37, it's time for you to press the back button (plus anyone who drives a white Mercedes, even if you're skint, shame on you and your life choices).

Everyone else, please tell us a bit about yourself in this here form.

First Name*

Surname*

Email*

Phone*

Country*

Briefly introduce yourself*

Keep it concise. Who you are, where you're from and what you're up to with your life right now. If you've got a job or a business, tell us what it is but don't bang on about it. Jobs and work are mostly boring.

Have you done any stupid adventures before?*

If you've never left your home town, that is absolutely fine, you're 100% eligible. If you've done a bunch of stupid shit already you're also totally eligible. We're looking people with a hankering for adventuring silliness regardless of existing experience. But it's handy for us to get a bit of context.

There's $5000 up for grabs to spend on old school adventure. Why should you get it?*

No rules on this one. We're making this up as we go along, so put whatever you want about why you're a good fit for the Don McLester Adventuring Stupidity Scholarship 2027.

Want to add some photos?

This is optional, and comes with minimal guidance. If you've already done some stupid adventuring, show us a photo or two. If you haven't done stupid shit before, you could show us a photo of something really boring to highlight the urgent need for chaos in your life.

Prove you're an organic meatbag

In a world where a 50 year old bloke called Derek who lives in his Mum's basement in Glasgow can make the world believe he's a cabaret singer called Tiffany living it up in San Diego, we need to confirm you're real. Add links to socials, LinkedIn, anything online about you. If you're an internet ghost leave this blank.

Anything else to add?

0 / 500 words

Here's what happens next... You'll get a confirmation email after you've submitted your application - that's how you know we've received it. Applications for the 2027 scholarship are open until 28th February 2027.
