Grant for Educational Initiatives Helping Students Succeed in Arkansas (USA)
GrantID: 73809
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $1,000
Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to support educational institutions in connecting students with outdoor, curriculum-aligned learning experiences. Specifically tailored for public, private, charter, and home school groups serving K–12 students, the grant aims to ease financial barriers associated with off-campus educational programming. Available to schools within a specific Southern U.S. state, the funding is intended to cover costs related to transportation, such as mileage reimbursement, bus rentals, driver fees, and substitute teachers needed during student outings.
Eligible applicants must plan their field experiences in collaboration with designated program coordinators to ensure that the outings include structured educational components. The trips must take place within the state at officially managed outdoor education sites, offering students hands-on learning tied to the state's academic standards. Funding is issued through a monthly application cycle during the academic year, providing flexibility and timely access for schools as they plan their trips. Awards typically do not exceed a modest maximum per trip, but there is potential for additional support based on documented financial need.
The grant particularly benefits schools in rural or underserved areas where funding for experiential learning is limited. By offsetting trip-related expenses, the program ensures broader student access to high-quality, place-based education. This opportunity promotes environmental literacy, historical awareness, and student engagement through direct experiences in natural and cultural environments.
