Expanding Our Reach
Scholarship Program
The Expanding Our Reach Scholarship Program is designed to provide opportunities for all children and families in Central Illinois the chance to inspire the love of learning through the power of play. Through interactive exhibits and stimulating programs, children will participate in an experience of a lifetime.
The Scholarship program is available to schools and organizations that serve economically disadvantaged children and families. Schools that have students participating in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program may qualify. Scholarships may be awarded for all or a percentage of the Museum fees for learning lab programs or self-guided fieldtrips. Scholarships do not cover transportation or chaperone fees.
Eligible schools may apply every year. Scholarships are limited and are awarded on a first-come basis based on eligibility. The Museum reserves the right to limit the number of scholarships granted to any single school.
The Expanding Our Reach Scholarship Program is made possible by the generous support from Museum sponsors and donors.
