To celebrate the U.S. Semiquincentennial and help renew our commitment to civic engagement, a middle school field trip program, high school essay competition, and community college engagement series will provide unique educational opportunities for Marylanders.
Field Trip Program
Where History Lives: Field Trip Program
As part of Maryland’s 250th anniversary commemoration, the MD Two Fifty Commission, in partnership with Maryland Humanities, is pleased to offer funding to support middle school (6th-8th grade) field trips to museums, historic sites, and parks across the state.
The goal of this program is to help middle school students connect with Maryland’s rich and complex history through firsthand experiences that bring learning to life. Funding may be used to support transportation and admission costs for eligible field trips.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, subject to available funding. Approved schools or organizations will receive funds directly and will be required to submit a brief post-trip report, including reflections following their visit.
Additional questions about the program may be directed to Emily Ross by emailing eross@mdhumanities.org.
