Does your school need financial assistance for a field trip?
Adventure Science Center's STEM Access Fund may be able to help. If you're a Title I school in MNPS or a school from a rural county, the fund may be able to underwrite your bussing costs or provide free admission or add-on programming. Fill out this form to apply for assistance, then submit a regular field trip request and mention your application in the notes.
The STEM Access Fund is generously sponsored by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
