Financial Aid

Through generous support from our philanthropic community, the Museum provides financial aid to Title 1 schools for field trips and outreach programming.

Title 1 schools, as defined by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), serve a student body determined to be economically disadvantaged, or offer a “targeted assistance program” for at-risk students.

New this year:
Title 1 schools may apply for funding to visit the Museum between August 19, 2024, and February 28, 2025. If approved, a financial aid award will cover general exhibit entrance for students and required chaperones, as well as programming fees (films and travelling exhibits are not included). Additional adults included on the reservation will pay the group rate, and any walk-up students or adults will pay the general admission rate if tickets are available.

Title 1 schools may apply for funding to cover outreach programs taking place between the dates of August 19, 2024, and May 23, 2025. If approved, a financial aid award will cover outreach program fees (additional travel fees are not included).

Financial aid is supported by Texas Instruments.
