Thanks to support from Science World’s Science of Cocktails, we are thrilled to offer bursaries for underserved schools to support their class field trips in the 2019/20 school year.
Since we began the program in 2017, over 23,000 students have visited Science World at TELUS World of Science.
Who is eligible for a Class Field Trip Bursary?
- BC ministry-funded classes in grades K–12.
- Classes must clearly demonstrate need for financial assistance.
- Classes must describe how learning will be extended beyond the field trip, and how it is connected to school or district goals and/or community resources.
What is the Class Field Trip Bursary for?
Bursaries subsidize 50 to 100% of general admission, and return transportation (school bus fees or Translink invoice up to $500, unless otherwise identified) for one to two classes per request.
The balance of the fees must be provided by the school.
The transportation portion of the bursary will be reimbursed to your school following your visit (school bus or bulk transit purchase only). For more information about pre-purchasing transit tickets please visit Translink.
Science World class field trip bursaries do not fund overnight trips or the cost of parking (there is no school bus parking available at TELUS World of Science).
The field trip bursary will not be applied to school programs, OMNIMAX® films, and exhibition charges.
Class Field Trip Bursary Application Form is now closed.
At this time (October 2019) we have received a great number of applications and have approved bursaries over our estimates. Applicants that are not granted a bursary have been notified that they will be placed on a wait list.
What do I need to do after my bursary is approved?
Classes awarded a bursary should book their field trip through our website and select/reserve their transportation. Classes awarded a bursary will be asked to complete an evaluation form during the week following their field trip, and may be asked for additional feedback specific to the bursary.
The balance due and method of payment will be determined and confirmed with the contact teacher prior to completing the class booking.
