National College Fair Bus Registration

The Minnesota National College Fair Committee is excited to continue the Transportation Grant Program for the 2025 Minnesota National College Fair. The goal of the Transportation Grant Program is to help schools offset transportation related costs of bringing students to the Minnesota National College Fair. We anticipate grants will range between $100 - $300 dollars, but schools traveling from outside of the Twin Cities metro area may be eligible for larger grant amounts. A number of factors will be considered including: schools with high populations of first generation and/or economically disadvantaged students, schools traveling from greater distances to the Convention Center, as well as number of buses utilized to transport students to and from the fair.

The priority deadline for the Transportation Grant application is June 27, 2025.
