State Rep. Steve Huffman
Huffman Encourages
Schools to Apply for Statehouse Transportation Grants
COLUMBUS—State Representative Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City) today
announced that the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board and the
Capitol Square Foundation will open their online application process
for school transportation grants on Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at 9:00
a.m.
The grants are available to help Ohio schools, which receive state
funding, defray the cost of field trips to the Ohio Statehouse and are
based on one-way mileage from the visiting school to Columbus.
There are 25 grants available in each of the following mileage
categories, for a total of 75 grants:
1 to 50
miles:
$200
51 to 100
miles:
$300
101+
miles:
$400
Limited to fourth through 12th grade trips during the 2017-2018 school
year, the grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and
have been known to be awarded within a matter of minutes of the grant
application process opening.
“Visiting the statehouse is a great opportunity to immerse students in
the history of our great state and gain an understanding of our
political process,” said Rep. Huffman. “I encourage all local
schools to apply for this grant.”
