Target Offers K-12 School Field Trip Grants
Deadline: September 30, 2010

Registration is open for the Target Field Trip Grants program.

The program will award five thousand grants of $700 each to schools across the United States for the upcoming school year. Teachers can use a grant to fund a school field trip that connects their curriculum to out-of-school experiences. Education professionals who are at least 18 years old and are employed by an accredited K-12 public, private, or charter school in the United States that maintains 501(c)(3) or 509(a)(1) tax-exempt status are eligible to apply. Educators, teachers, principals, paraprofessionals, and classified staff at these institutions must be willing to plan and execute a field trip that will provide a demonstrable learning experience for students.

Grant funds are best used for visits to art, science, and cultural museums; community service or civic projects; career enrichment opportunities; and other events or activities away from the school facility. Funds may be used to cover field trip-related costs such as transportation, ticket fees, food, resource materials, and supplies.

The Target Field Trip Grants program is managed and administered entirely by Scholarship America.
