Scholarships Available for Science Museum Oklahoma Field Trips
May 3, 2019
Scholarships are available for field trips for public schools in Canadian, Carter, Comanche, Craig, Delaware, Garfield, Kingfisher, Mayes, Nowata, Osage, Ottawa and Washington counties.
Students in numerous Oklahoma counties and public school districts have the opportunity to visit Science Museum Oklahoma for free as part of a school field trip through September thanks to two generous grants from Chaparral Energy and the Cresap Family Foundation.
Located in Oklahoma City’s Adventure District, Science Museum Oklahoma is the state’s only hands-on science museum and, with over 350,000 square feet, one of the largest science museums in the nation. Recognized by USA Today for its must-see exhibits, students will experience science in ways they never imagined at SMO — from larger-than-life board games, riding Segways and seeing the shocking power of a real Tesla coil to exploring NASA artifacts, the museum’s expansive gardens and art galleries, and climbing into the Mercury capsule simulator, the museum has something for everyone.
