School Scholarship Opportunities 

School Programs General Scholarship Fund

Are you interested in bringing your students on a field trip to the Audubon Naturalist Society or bringing our Naturalist in Your Classroom program to you, but lack the funds to pay for the program? If your school has 50% or more of its students on the free and reduced meal plan, we may be able to assist your school with a scholarship.

Through the generosity of our members and other individuals, we have a limited amount of scholarship funds available that may be used for either a Field Trip to one of our sanctuaries or a Naturalist in Your Classroom program. Scholarships are awarded on a first come-first served, as needed basis.

This list is updated on a rolling basis, in hopes to provide you with the most current scholarship and grant opportunities.

Other Scholarship/Grant Opportunities
 

Donate to the School Programs General Scholarship Fund

Help bring students in Pre-K through high school on a field trip to the Audubon Naturalist Society or bring a Naturalist in Your Classroom program to a school by donating to our general scholarship fund.

With many schools cutting field trips and other enrichment programs due to budget restrictions, the rising cost of gas, and testing demands, your donation will help provide these inspiring and educational experiences for schools that may not otherwise be able to participate.

Donate today to assist us in fostering appreciation, understanding and stewardship of the natural environment for our future generations.

*If you would like funds directed to a specific school, please indicate.
