Gap Year 30 Student & Parent
Planning an independent Gap Year? This 30 day boot camp is a must have and the place to start. With two concurrent versions (one for students and one for parents) this free program will help you think through everything from the basics of where you want to go, to the complexities of budgeting and funding, to communication plans and family support. A free gift from BootsnAll.
Tortuga Discount
Fred and Jeremy teamed up to create Tortuga Backpacks after taking their summer trip to Europe and hating the hiking style backpacks they’d chosen. The Setout travel backpack is the perfect bag for Gap Year travel. They don’t generally give discounts and they never run sales, so it’s a big deal that they’re extended a discount code to TAP applicants.
Enter the discount code TAPSCHOLARSHIP10 at checkout to receive a 10% discount.
Please don’t share this with anyone who hasn’t applied for the scholarship.
Gap Year Scholarships
The Travel Access Project is not the only organization offering grant money or scholarships for Gap Year travel. If you have not already done so, follow up on the financial aid opportunities listed by the Gap Year Association.
This is also a great resource for planning your Gap Year, finding accredited programs to learn and adventure with, and gathering the resources you need to make your Gap Year dreams a reality. Consider investing in a student membership so you don’t miss a thing!
