Travel Grants

We're sorry! As of January 11, 2012, all of the travel grant funding for 2011-2012 school year has been awarded. You can email the Education Specialist if you would like to be on a waiting list in case funding becomes available.

The travel grants are possible thanks to donations to the Glacier National Park Fund . The cost for over 30 buses (carrying up to 42 students; 2 different classrooms) to travel to Glacier National Park for ranger-led field trips will be paid for with grant money awarded to teachers this year.

These donations enable the park to offer travel grants for schools with restricted travel budgets. In order to be eligible for a grant, schools must be scheduled for one of our ranger-led, curriculum-based programs or for a service learning project with the native plant program. Grants are awarded first-come, first-served in amounts varying on the distance the bus has to travel to the park. To apply for a travel grant, teachers complete a travel grant form and return it to Glacier's Education Specialist at least 2 weeks in advance of their scheduled trip according to the instructions on the form.

The website links on the right contain more information about how to make donations to the Glacier National Park Fund and the projects that they support.
