Eligibility Criteria
- Cultural Collaborations Project Grants are a program of the Alaska State Council on the Arts, with funding support from Rasmuson Foundation.
- Excursion Grant Funds are to be used for transportation and/or admission fees for K-12 students visiting definable arts and cultural venues (museums, culture centers, theaters, galleries, etc.) or to attend activities and events (performances, exhibits, readings, etc.) in Alaska.
- Any public or private nonprofit school may apply for and receive funds to support one or more activities scheduled during the school year.

- Title 1 Schools may apply for up to $1,000; non-Title 1 schools are limited to $600. The requested amount should be based on the anticipated transportation and/or student admission costs to one or more excursion.

There may be conditions on application to multiple grant programs; contact the Alaska State Council on the Arts for guidance if you plan to apply in multiple grant categories.
- Grant recipients must submit a final report that includes a description of what students saw/and experienced, how many students participated, the students reactions and perceived outcomes and how the grant funds are spent.
