Any Ohio school that receives state funding may apply for students in grades 4 through 12. Applicants must have at least 20 students in the tour group, only one grant may be awarded per school, and the application must be submitted online by an authorized teacher or school administrator. The program plans to award 180 grants, with 60 awards in each one-way mileage category: $300 for 0-50 miles, $400 for 51-100 miles, and $600 for 101 or more miles.

The application portal opened September 4, 2026 and applications must be submitted by the end of Sunday, September 13, 2026. Selection is by random lottery within each mileage category.
