Help Fans Attend the Con

It’s a Two-step Process

  1. Fans may apply themselves, or nominate potential scholarship recipients. Escapade has several scholarships for fans otherwise unable to attend because of cost. Scholarship recipients must be willing to volunteer 5 hours on site. We also love it when they volunteer to co-moderate panels. Apply or nominate anyone by filling in the form below.
  2. Contribute to the scholarship fund, which you can do by clicking the “Donate” link, below. 100% of your donations go directly to recipient expenses. Any amount helps; there is no donation amount that is too small to help, and of course there is no amount that is too big. You can contribute by check, too. Mail to Escapade, 264 Santa Monica Way, SB, CA 93109.

Scholarship Nominations

"*" indicates required fields

The name of the person completing the form
The name of the person who would be receiving the scholarship.
If we are unable to reach the nominee, we may need to follow up with the nominator for more contact methods.
Please provide a general introduction of the nominee and share with us the ways in which they engage with fandom.
Please note: All scholarship recipients are required to provide a minimum five hours of contributions towards the convention. If you are nominating yourself, what are you most looking forward to experiencing at the convention? If you are nominating another person, skip down to the next question.
Escapade is a place of collaboration and comradery. If you are nominating another person, how would the nominee enrich the convention with their presence?
Is the Nominee a Vidder?
The Sandy Herrold Memorial Scholarship: Sandy loved vidding. She loved watching vids, making vids, critiquing vids, and the entire art of the process. She loved the vid community. To honor her contributions to that community, this scholarship assists a vidder to attend Escapade.
Does the Nominee identify as non-binary or transgender?
The Escapade Evelyn Scholarship: To honor our commitment to diversity and inclusion, Escapade maintains a scholarship specifically to assist fans who identify as non-binary or transgender. If you are unsure if your nominee identifies, we can discretely inquire.
Does the Nominee identify as black, indigenous, and/or a person of color?
The Eartha Kitt Escapade Scholarship To honor our commitment to diversity and inclusion, Escapade maintains a scholarship specifically to assist fans who are black, indigenous, and/or POC. If you are unsure if your nominee identifies, we can discretely inquire.
Would the nominee be unable to attend Escapade without a scholarship?
The Stacy Doyle Memorial Scholarship: Stacy is another member who left us way too soon. She was friendly, creative, and generous to a fault. In her name, we bring one (or more) person to Escapade who would not otherwise be able to attend the convention.
