School Bus Arts Grants (SBA)
School Bus Arts Grants (SBA) provide support to Kindergarten to grade 12 schools and pre-schools to underwrite the cost of field trips and admission fees to attend professional arts events such as live music, dance, or theatre performances and cultural exhibits at museums or other venues. There must be an arts component to the field trip.
Priority will be given to schools and communities that have a lack of access to arts or cultural programs due to geography, economic conditions, ethnic background or disability. The percentage of students utilizing free/reduced lunch will be one indicator of the level of need.
Eligibility: Nebraska public and private PreK-12 schools.
Maximum request: $500
Deadline: Applications are due at least four weeks prior to the field trip and are reviewed on a first-received, first-funded basis until all available funds are awarded. Please call the NAC in advance of applying to determine funding status. On average, you will be notified regarding your award within two weeks.
