Fee waiver requests for Pecos National Historical Park are processed by the Tour Coordinator.
Fee Waiver Qualifications
In order to qualify for a waiver, a group must meet all of the following criteria:
- Educational and scientific groups must submit proof of official recognition as an accredited institution by a federal, state, or local government entity. Private schools or other scientific institutions may submit documentation of tax exempt status granted for educational purposes. Groups or organizations that have been “officially recognized by a school or scientific institution for the purpose of providing education…” must provide evidence of this official recognition.
- The intended trip must relate directly to the educational or scientific purpose of the visit and to the unique features and resources of Pecos. The visit “shall not be primarily for recreation purposes.” Submit a one-page lesson plan listing objectives, itinerary, and how lessons relate to park resources.
- Requests from colleges or universities should also include a copy of the course description from the school’s course catalog or handbook.
Please note that special activity tour fees cannot be waived for educational groups.
