Hit the road and apply for a Target Field Trip Grant
September 14, 2009

Last year it was gas prices. This year, that darned economy is the culprit for killing school field trips. Even during hard times, your class doesn’t have to be confined to quarters. Target is again offering field trip grants worth up to $800 to 5,000 teachers this year.
Check the FAQ for field trip ideas before you submit your application. If you teach in North Carolina, we at LEARN NC have a few field trip ideas for you, broken down by county, city or zip code.
If you’ve got a great field trip idea and only lack the funds to make it happen, submit your application by November 3, 2009. There are plenty of educational opportunities outside the classroom. These grants mean you won’t have to miss them.
