School Connections

The School Connections Field Trip Scholarship program applications for ISME and SGFT scholarships are now open for the 2025-26 school year!

The School Connections initiative aims to cover admission fees for Pre-K to 2nd grade classrooms to Kohl Children’s Museum on a self-guided field trip. Our goal is to reach classrooms that may have trouble attending the Museum due to various external circumstances.

This scholarship does not include transportation. Private rooms to eat lunches brought with you are available if booked in advance.

Interested in applying for this program for 2025-26? Fill out our scholarship application. For follow-up questions or more information about your submission, please contact Jasmine Pichardo at (847) 832-6876.

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.
