Indian Education for All Stipends & Travel Grant

The Indian Education for All Stipends & Travel Grant aims to enhance Indigenous knowledge in Wyoming classrooms by providing financial support for K-12 educators to invite Tribal Knowledge Keepers. This grant offers a stipend of $350 and travel funds of $200 for round trips over 100 miles, facilitating the sharing of valuable cultural insights. Funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, with applications encouraged at least four to six weeks prior to the visit.

Stipends & Travel Funds
One of the best ways to fulfill the Indian Education for All Act is to have Tribal Knowledge Keepers visit Wyoming classrooms. This is not always feasible because costs for travel and stipends to those wanting to share their valuable wisdom. To address these challenges, Wyoming Humanities is offering funds for K-12 educators in Wyoming to bring an Indigenous Knowledge Keeper into their school, classroom, or field trip. All requests for support should help fulfill Indian Education for All standards and requirements.
Wyoming Humanities will offer one-time compensation to support the inclusion of Indigenous Knowledge Keeper in the classroom, including:

• $350 Stipend (a “thank you” for the Indigenous Knowledge Keeper’s time and energy)
• $200 in travel funds (if 100+ miles roundtrip)

Payment will be made directly to the Indigenous Knowledge Keeper. Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If payment is required prior to the classroom visit, apply at least six weeks before the visit.
If payment is NOT required prior to the classroom visit, apply at least four weeks before the visit.
