Volunteer with us!
If you would like to attend Kinky Kollege but cost is a barrier, we offer a limited number of full and partial scholarships for attendees who are able to support the event through volunteer work.
Full Scholarships (100%) and Partial Scholarships are available on a limited basis across several departments, including (but not limited to) event operations, registration, logistics, set-up and tear-down, class support, and attendee services.
Priority consideration for full scholarships will be given to applicants who are available for extended support periods, such as Thursday set-up and Sunday evening tear-down, and who can commit to working approximately 12–16 hours over the course of the weekend, depending on department needs.
We are committed to ensuring that scholarship volunteers are still able to fully experience the event. Schedules will be coordinated and rotated whenever possible to allow time to attend classes, social events, and dungeon time.
Note: Scholarships do not include meals, transportation, or lodging. Scholarships only discount the registration fees.
