Field Trip Tuition Assistance
We aim to keep our field trips accessible. In addition to keeping our program costs low, we hope these opportunities can help your students visit the farm on a field trip.

Scoring Rubric for GHFF Scholarship Assistance Application – the rubric by which the education committee will evaluate applications. In a given year, we may not be able to accommodate every applicant, so preference is given to applicants who thoughtfully consider how a trip to our farm extends their classroom learning. We also seek to extend our scholarship funds to as many schools as possible, so the size of the field trip requested will also be taken into consideration. Click here to download the scoring rubric .
