Transportation Fund Field Trip Grant (Conner Prairie)

The Transportation Fund reimburses schools for the cost of transporting students to Conner Prairie. To qualify, 50% or more of the school's students, as indicated by the Indiana Department of Education, must be economically disadvantaged. This is a reimbursement program — transportation support is not provided in advance of the visit; the reimbursement amount is based on the number of students that visit the museum with the group, at a rate of $5 per student up to $500 total. The Fund is made possible by the Tom & Julie Wood Foundation.

Schools request transportation support in connection with a Conner Prairie field trip. Reimbursement is paid after the visit and on submission of a completed evaluation, by check made payable to the school and sent by US mail; processing can take up to one month.
