Don McLester Adventuring Stupidity Scholarship

Play with sound

$5000 of adventure funding

The legends Don & Sarah McLester have opened an annual scholarship offering a hefty wedge of cash to fund the pursuit of adventuring stupidity.

Also known as the ‘Don Memorial Asshat Award (except he won’t fucking die)’, the launch marks Don’s 10th adventure (and Sarah’s third) with The Adventurists.

In this interview filmed by Adventurists founder Mr. Tom they explain why they’re putting up thousands of dollars to help people who want to take part in one of our adventures but don’t have enough cash.

Applications for the 2025 scholarship have now closed and the winner will be announced soon.

The nuts & bolts

Does chaos call to you like a siren: ‘come hither and do thyself a mischief’ but you don’t have enough cash on hand to sign up for an Adventurists jaunt this year? Then you’re eligible.

You can apply yourself, or nominate someone else. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve already done some ridiculous adventuring or never left your home town.

The 2025 scholarship winner gets $5000 to take part in any of our adventures running this year. On your own or with team mates. You can spend the money on flights, accommodation, relevant gear and other on the road costs.

The Adventurists Privacy Policy


We only store and share the data we need to give you the adventure you bought from us or use the service you wanted to use for as long as you want to make use of it.

Well, in truth, we sell your data to criminals as soon as you land on the site. By the time you read this you’ll have already had your identity cloned. You probably weren’t making the most of it anyway if someone can borrow part of it.

You can delete yourself at anytime and then you won’t need to worry about your privacy.

If for some reason you’ve got so much free time you actually want to read something boring here is the legal shittwittery we probably nicked from a website selling coloured stationary so we don’t get fined by the EU. Which would probably never happen. Like Brexit. But if I were you I would take a fork and stab out your eyeballs instead. Like Brexit.
