Bee-thoven Express Bus Grant Application
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS: The Bee-thoven Express Grant program supports transportation costs for educational field trips to the Columbus Symphony Young People’s Concert for grades K-12. Applicants are responsible for making all transportation and destination arrangements. Funds must be used for field trip-related travel expenses, including but not limited to securing buses or vans and licensed drivers, fuel and parking costs, and accessibility expenses.

ELIGIBILITY: Eligible organizations include, but are not limited to, public, private, charter, or parochial schools (pre-kindergarten through secondary) and associations of home-schooled students. Multiple applications from a single school district are permissible within a single fiscal year. When funds are limited, priority will be given to new applicants. Priority status is also given to rural and urban students from underserved areas of Ohio. All applicants must possess nonprofit status or nonprofit intent.

GRANT AWARDS: Applicants may request up to $600. No match is required.

REVIEW CRITERIA: CSO staff members evaluate and score grant applications.
