SFVA Ed Expo School Travel Grant Application
The State Fair of Virginia Ed Expo is home to Virginia’s Largest Outdoor Classroom, welcoming over 13,000 students annually for field trips, competitions and scholarship opportunities during the State Fair.
In 2024, The State Fair of Virginia hosted record student numbers, representing 78 counties and 30 independent cities in Virginia.
Due to interest, we are creating an avenue for our partners and sponsors to support Virginia's students and their ability to attend the State Fair of Virginia as part of Virginia's Largest Outdoor Classroom! We recognize that field trips can be expensive and transportation is one of the limiting factors in a school's ability to send students.
Partners can select locality or program (i.e. FFA, SkillsUSA, DECA, FCCLA, HOSA, etc.) preferences which will influence available funds. The program is currently set up to cover transportation costs associated with attending The State Fair of Virginia.
Applications will be selected based on need, funds available, and partner preferences. Recipients will be notified of their grant via email. Following the State Fair, the school will need to submit a receipt for travel expenses and a reimbursement will be processed via check.
