Public Schools:
Thanksgiving Point receives funds from the Utah State Office of Educators Informal Science Education Enhancement (iSEE) group to extend scholarship field trip opportunities to public schools, K-12, on a first-come, first-serve basis. A field trip to one Thanksgiving Point venue per year per grade level is provided while scholarship funds are still available. Field trips must be booked 30 days in advance.

Title 1 Schools:
Are you a Title I School in need of field trip assistance? At Thanksgiving Point, we believe curriculum-related field trips provide a valuable learning experience for your students. Each year, many generous donors provide assistance to Title I Schools by funding field trip scholarships.
With this support, Thanksgiving Point is offering field trip assistance to all Title I Schools (grades K-12) who apply for a scholarship. Students of an entire grade level per selected school will receive scholarships to attend a Thanksgiving Point field trip at one Thanksgiving Point venue for FREE.
