Why support FSC
Your Support Puts People on Trails
Field Studies Collective is entirely student-run and relies on the generosity of individuals, outdoor companies, and community partners to fund what we do.
How your support makes a difference
Where it goes
Four ways your support makes a difference.
FSC has no paid staff and no overhead. Every dollar is allocated directly to one of these four programs.

01
Get Students Outside
The most direct use of your support: subsidizing trip costs so that financial barriers never keep a student from their first hiking experience. We cover permit fees, gas, campsite costs, and food for members who need assistance.

02
Break Down Financial Barriers
Gear is expensive. A tent, sleeping bag, and pack can run $500 or more. Our shared gear library ensures any FSC member — regardless of income — has access to quality equipment. Your support expands and maintains that library.

03
Train Our Leaders
Every FSC trip is led by a trained student. Wilderness First Aid certification costs $350–$600 per person. Your support funds scholarships so aspiring leaders can get certified and safely take members into the backcountry.

Build Community & Grow
FSC started at one school. It now has two branches and students at other universities asking how to start their own. Your support funds the seed capital, legal setup, and mentorship pipeline that lets a new FSC branch launch successfully.
Thanks to our supporters

Become a partner organization.
If your brand or organization believes in getting young people outside, we'd love to talk. Partnerships can take many forms — gear donations, trip sponsorships, scholarship funding, or long-term organizational support.
We'll make sure your partnership reaches the right audience: students who care deeply about the outdoors, community, and building a lifelong relationship with wild places.
