Grants support hands-on, classroom, or “real-world” field trip projects that “bring learning to life” and increase student academic achievement. Grants are designed to encourage experiential learning, enhance student understanding, and increase student achievement in relation to the curriculum standards in one of the core subject areas of language arts, social studies, mathematics or science.

Proposed projects must be submitted by a full-time teacher and involve some type of field trip experience.

Field trips may include visiting a museum, artistic or cultural center, participate in a civics or community service project, or have an outreach program bring the experience to your school!  Grant funds may be used for transportation, pre- or post-field trip materials, or other expenses specific to the proposed project.

Grant funds may not be used for the following: computer hardware, salaries, video cameras, sectarian purposes, substitutes, field trips to amusement parks, or for substituting existing funds that are available to support similar services or third party payments.
