Field Trip Scholarships

The School Connections Field Trip Scholarship initiative will grant classrooms the opportunity to visit the Museum on a self-guided field trip or an in-school Museum experience.

If multiple classrooms in your school would like to apply, please submit a separate application for each classroom. (1 application = 1 classroom)

This application is open for Pre-K to 2nd-grade classrooms where 50% or more of students receive free or reduced lunch. If selected for a self-guided field trip, this scholarship does not include transportation. Private rooms to eat lunches brought with you are available if booked in advance.

Applications for ISME and SGFT scholarships are now OPEN for the 2025-26 school year!

Please note: priority will be given to first-time applicants or classrooms that have not visited the Museum in at least one year. Applicants who do not receive an initial award will be placed on a waitlist.
