WHY?

It has become increasingly difficult for schools to fund learning opportunities outside of the classroom. To help them out, Target launched Field Trip Grants in 2007. As part of the program, Target stores award Field Trip Grants to K-12 schools nationwide. Each grant is valued up to $700. Grant applications are accepted between noon (CST) August 1 and noon (CST) September 30.
