MICHIGAN YOUTH ARTS

Bus Grant Cycle Opens Monday, December 3rd.

Michigan Youth Arts, on behalf of the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs,
is offering Michigan K-12 schools grants of up to $500 to  pay for transportation
costs associated with an arts- and culture-related field trip. We will begin accepting
new applications for the 2013 Spring Cycle starting December 3, 2012 through January
25, 2013. Schools may only apply once per school year. Therefore, if your school
 has been approved for a grant, you may not apply again. This new application is
 for schools who have not received a grant in the 2012-2013 school year.  The field
trip for this cycle must take place between March 1, 2013 - May 31, 2013. For complete
guidelines and list of approved field trip destinations, click here. [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=h5vgamlab.0.58pvsmlab.c8xo74bab.0&ts=S0847&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.michiganyoutharts.org%2Fpdf%2F2013MCACAGuidelines.pdf]
