MANALIVE TEXAS · OCTOBER 22-25, 2026

If money's the thing in the way.

We have a limited number of half-cost scholarships for the men who need them. Apply below.

Here's how this works.

Scholarships cover half. You pay $150 if you apply during early bird, $175 after. We cover the rest. You're a registered participant, same as every other man at camp. No different treatment, no different label, no asterisk by your name.

There are a limited number available each Expedition. We read every application. We decide based on need and on whether the timing is right for you. We try to say yes more than we say no.

If we say no, it doesn't mean we don't want you here. It usually means we have other men with more pressing situations this round. You can apply again for a future Expedition.

What we're looking for.

Three things, plainly:

A man who actually wants to be here.

Not a man whose buddy is twisting his arm. If you can't articulate why you want to come, this probably isn't your weekend yet.

A man who's tried other paths first.

We're not the first stop. Family, church, savings, a side gig. You don't have to have exhausted everything, but if you haven't asked anyone or considered another option, this isn't the right fit.

A man who can cover his half.

$150 or $175 is still real money, and we want to know you're committed enough to put your own skin in. If even that half is impossible, tell us in the application and we'll talk.

What we're not looking for.

This isn't a free pass. If you can pay full freight, please do. Your full registration helps us scholarship another man.

This isn't a way to skip the price tag. The men who get scholarships have done the work to ask for help honestly. If your first instinct was "free is better than $299," this isn't your path.

We're not a charity for guys who could afford it but'd rather not. We're a brotherhood that doesn't want money to be the wall between a man and what he needs.

Apply for a scholarship.

Five questions. Take your time. The more honest you are, the easier this is for us to evaluate. We read every word.

What happens next.

We review applications regularly. You'll hear back within 14 days, either way.

If approved, we send you a registration link with the scholarship discount applied. You pay your half and you're in.

If we say no, we'll tell you why if there's something specific. Most of the time it's just that we've hit our scholarship cap for this round. Reapply next time and we'll take another look.

Questions before you apply, email [email protected].

One last thing.

Applying for a scholarship doesn't put you on a list. It doesn't get you flagged or watched. It doesn't follow you to camp. The men who paid full and the men on scholarship sit in the same chairs around the same fire. Nobody knows who's who. Nobody asks.

You don't have anything to prove to us. You just have to show up.
