Groups coming to Jewel Cave for educational purposes can request a fee waiver for the Scenic Tour. In order for the fee waiver to be approved, you must be from an accredited institution and the cave tour must be a part of your class curriculum.

The National Park Service also offers a free on-line training course that teaches all about the National Park Service. The course was specifically designed for students, educators and professionals. Each of the three modules takes about 30-40 minutes to complete and can be found at http://www.parktraining.org/.
