MacMillan Field Trip Grants Program helps offset transportation and lodging costs to schools in Greater Minnesota.

Eligibility

How It Works

  • Funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Schools may apply annually; having received a reward in a previous year does not make a school ineligible.
  • MacMillan Field Trip Grants may not be used in combination with other MNHS transportation subsidies on the same field trip date.

Please Gather the Following Before You Apply

  • The distance between your school and the Minnesota History Center (345 Kellogg Blvd. West, Saint Paul, MN 55102)
  • The number of students who will attend the field trip.
  • The name of the Minnesota Historical Society metro historic site or museum you intend to visit.
  • The date of your intended field trip.

To Apply

  • Fill out the online application.
  • If funds are available, they will be applied to your reserved field trip.

Your Field Trip

Applying for a MacMillan Field Trip Grant does not schedule your field trip. Be sure to book your field trip.
