[Ecoed] grants to support K-12 field trips

[David Kirschtel]

from e-school news (www.eschoolnews.com):

$800,000 to help support school field trips
Grant Title: Target Field Trip Grants Program
Organization: Target
Eligibility: K-12 educators and school officials
Value: 800 awards of $1,000 each
Deadline: November 1, 2006

Applications will be available online beginning in September. In the  
face of budget shortages, field trips are often one of the first  
elements eliminated from the curriculum. Target hopes that teachers  
can use this grant to continue using the valuable experiential  
learning gained from field trips to enhance students' classroom  
studies. As a cornerstone of the giving program, Target educational  
programs focus on teachers and classrooms, and early childhood  
reading. Target also supports schools and educational organizations  
through local grant donations.
