Each year scholarships are available for qualifying schools. The funds reduce the cost per student from $8.50 to $3.50 on Big River Journey field trips.
To qualify for scholarship funds, schools must have:
at least 50% participation in free/reduced lunch program, and/or;
student enrollment of students of color at or greater than 50%.
If interested in receiving scholarship funds, indicate it on the registration form. Scholarships will be allocated to qualifying schools. Scholarships are not granted until we have received a statement from your school's principal identifying the basis of your eligibility, and you have received back from us a letter confirming your scholarship.
