Young Citizens Scholarship Program

The Young Citizens Scholarship Program provides eligible student/youth groups with free or reduced admission and transportation to the National Constitution Center. The program is made possible by the generous support of individual, foundation, and corporate donors to promote civic education.

How to Apply

Groups may apply for a scholarship as part of the online group request form.

All scholarship applications are subject to approval by the National Constitution Center Scholarship Committee. Scholarships are not approved unless you have received confirmation from the Scholarship Committee.
