HeritagePark Education Grants

Local business partners have agreed to help meet the needs of community students by helping schools to cover costs for outreach programs. We thank Heating & Cooling of Fort Walton Beach and Friends of the Museums, Inc. for their funding support.

  • Teachers with needs will want to fill out an application at least one month in advance of their anticipated date. We encourage teachers to apply as soon as possible.
  • These grants will be available for programs conducted only from January to May of each school year.
  • Grants will be awarded on a needs basis, a first come-first served basis and for as long as funds are available.
  • Those chosen for assistance will be contacted by the museum and arrangements finalized for their outreach program.
  • Schools from OkaloosaCounty will be given highest priority.
  • These grants are designed to assist with outreach expenses and should not be relied upon to replace a fieldtrip to the IndianTempleMoundMuseum.
