WildCare Scholarships How it Works:

K-6 Classes automatically qualify for a WildCare scholarship that matches their School's Free and Reduced Lunch percentage rate. For example, if 80% of a schools student body is enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program, any class in that school automatically qualifies for an 80% discount of the price of the program, including transportation costs. Contact Anya for scholarship request form.

Brief Description:

Half-day Field Trips in a Variety of Natural Habitats
