Education Program SCHOLARSHIPS
If your school participates in the Free or Reduced Price Meal program (FRPM), your class is eligible for a 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.
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.
Wildlife Camp Scholarships
WildCare wants to ensure that every child has a chance to participate in WildCare’s Wildlife Camps. If you feel that you will need financial assistance in order for your child to attend camp, please create an account and fill out the scholarship form.
PLEASE NOTE: your child is not enrolled in camp until you have received confirmation, either through email or over the phone from a WildCare staff member.

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.
WildCare will pay a maximum of $750 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 $750, WildCare will pay a maximum of $375 (50% of the $750 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.
