Increasing costs for K-12 education has resulted in the reduction or elimination of funding for educational field trips across New Jersey. The impact of that is the loss of hands-on field experiences in our natural spaces. While many programs have transitioned to virtual or been brought into the classroom, there is nothing like experiencing our natural surroundings in person.
The Wheels for STEM Scholarship helps to make sure these in person experiences continue. Non-profit partners may submit for a scholarship to help cover transportation costs to bring students to their programs and centers. The objective is to get more young people into the amazing natural spaces across New Jersey so that they can create a love for the environment that will last a lifetime.
