Submit to Busing Subsidy for Education Grant

Busing Subsidy for Education Grant

The Library, Arts, History and CSU Extension Department recognizes that transportation funding is a common barrier to educational experiences offered outside a school site. The Busing Subsidy for Education (BSE) Grants are intended to support transportation subsidies for students to participate in arts, culture, science and humanities programs and events otherwise not available in school. These grants are funded through a one-time funding source and will end when all funds are exhausted.
