WildCare Education Program Scholarships
Free or Reduced Price Meals (FRPM)
For example, if 50% of the students at your school are eligible for FRPM, then any class at your school qualifies for a 50% scholarship for any WildCare Education Program fee.
Please note: We are only able to provide a scholarship for one program, per classroom, per school year. If your class is split in half due to distancing protocols we can do the same program for your class twice.
Get Started
To apply for a scholarship, complete the program request online form for the program you are interested in, and complete the scholarship questions on the form.
The current FRPM percentage for your school can be found here.
BUS SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR NATURE HIKES!
If your school participates in the Free or Reduced Price Meal program (FRPM), your class is eligible for a bus scholarship that matches the percentage of the student body that is eligible for FRPM. The current FRPM percentage for your school can be found here.
WildCare will pay a maximum of $700 on a bus invoice for a 100% scholarship, regardless of the total cost of the invoice.
Depending on the percentage of your scholarship, the amount WildCare will pay will be prorated. For example: If you are awarded a 50% scholarship and the total of the bus invoice is $700, WildCare will pay a maximum of $350 (50% of the $700 cap).
You are responsible for booking a bus or organizing carpools for your field trip. WildCare will make payment on bus invoices AFTER your field trip. Bus invoices must be submitted for payment to WildCare within 45 days of the trip date. Bus invoices submitted after 45 days will no longer qualify for scholarship funds.
To apply for a bus scholarship, complete the program request online form for the program you are interested in, and complete the scholarship questions on the form.
