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

Eligibility

School must be in Minnesota.
Schools located 50 miles or more from the Minnesota History Center are eligible for a transportation subsidy.
Schools located 150 miles or more from the Minnesota History Center are eligible for a transportation subsidy and a minimal meal and/or lodging subsidy.
Must complete a field trip to one of these MNHS historic sites or museums: Alexander Ramsey House, James J Hill House, Historic Fort Snelling, Minnesota History Center, Mill City Museum, or Oliver Kelley Farm between September 6, 2022 and June 9, 2023.
Schools do not need to meet any Title I, Federal Free and Reduced Lunch or other economic need requirements.
If your school is not eligible, please visit our scholarships, grants, and subsidies page to see other financial assistance available.

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.
