Education Access Fund Guidelines and Information
- We offer a limited number of free field trips per year for qualifying Title 1 schools and community groups serving students who attend Title 1 schools. Trips are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Our Education Access trips are generally awarded on Mondays and Fridays in the fall and spring semesters. Community Group trips can be awarded for the summer, but will not include education programs in July and August.
- Education Access field trips include museum admission, an education program chosen by our education team, and bus reimbursement for one bus (up to 72 students).
Education Access Field Trip Process
- 1. Application:
- Teachers apply for Education Access Field Trips here.
- If you are hoping to visit on a certain date, you will need to request a paid field trip here.
- 2. Trip Awards:
- Recipients of an Education Access field trip will receive an email at the beginning of the semester or summer period with a limited choice of dates.
- In order to book your trip, the requesting educator must respond to the offer email with their top three date preferences. Prompt responses increase the likelihood you will receive your preferred date.
- Failure to take advantage of three Education Access field trip offers will result in removal from the waitlist to make space for other students. Previous awardees are welcome to re-apply one year after their awarded trip is completed.
- 3. Bus Reimbursement:
- After you take your free field trip to Comic-Con Museum, Education Access awardees are responsible for submitting their bus invoice and correct payment contact information for reimbursement to education@comic-con.org.
- This invoice must be submitted within 30 days of the field trip.
- Please make sure the payment contact information is correct on your Education Access Field Trip application. Comic-Con Museum will reissue payment once. Please make sure the reimbursement contact information is correct.
This fund is generously supported by our donors. For more information on giving to the Comic-Con Education Access Fund, email ccmgiving@comic-con.org.
