Ticket To Ride Grants for 2012/2013.

 The Maine Arts Commission continues to provide critical funding for schools seeking to transport students to arts venues and events in Maine in support of their education.

The Ticket to Ride grant program provides funding to defray the cost of travel for Maine K-12 schools wishing to attend arts venues and events as a part of a well rounded curriculum. Any K-12 school in Maine will be eligible to apply for one grant of up to $300 each school year. Any K-12 school in Maine with a documented free and reduced lunch student population of 50 percent or greater will be eligible to apply for one grant of up to $500 each school year.

The Ticket to Ride grant program will provide transportation funding on a first-come first-served basis until all available funds have been dispersed. Those wishing to apply for this funding should visit the education section of www.MaineArts.com.
