Life changing stories from Outward Bound.
Hear from our scholarship students.
Skills to thrive.
Outward Bound courses help equip New Zealanders with the skills of resilience, connection and compassion, needed to thrive in life. Each year, our sponsorship enables 20 diverse students to learn and develop these skills, so they can give back to their New Zealand communities over time.

Our sponsorship of Outward Bound.
We’ve established the Fidelity Life scholarship programme to provide more young New Zealanders access to the life changing impacts of Outward Bound.
Each year, we’ll enable 20 students across the country to tap into their potential and form strong connections to self, others and nature, by fully-funding them on a 21-day classic course.
