AT the Fleet At Your School Virtual FAQs
The Fleet brings meaning to the wonder of science. We believe science is in everything and education is the foundational starting point for discovery and curiosity. All of the experiences we create are designed to bring out the inner scientist in your students and facilitate learning both in and beyond classrooms. We offer interactive learning experiences at the Fleet, at schools throughout San Diego County and in the community.

Access Science Scholarships
Access Science Scholarships are available to Title 1 public schools of San Diego County for field trips to the Fleet Science Center. These funds are awarded upon application through the generosity of our corporate and private donors, with a mission of increasing access to the power and wonder of science! Applicants must provide proof of their school’s Title 1 status, as well as justification for scholarship need. Scholarships may be partially awarded and have a cap of $800 per school per August-July school year.
Our scholarships operate on a first-come-first-served basis from October-June. We encourage fall applications for field trips, regardless of anticipated program date, due to the limited nature of funding. Our development team is going to continue to look for funding since the program was so successful this year. In the meantime, we are hosting a “wish list” so that we can gather information while we wait to hear back about funding. Scholarship Wish List
