The pilot scheme will support 15 schools by covering the costs of coach transport to and from Titanic Belfast on a school trip.
Titanic Belfast has announced a new school transport bursary to give schools in some of Northern Ireland’s most deprived areas the opportunity to apply for free transport to support them when visiting the world-leading attraction.
Schools that meet the criteria - which includes over 50% of the students in receipt of Free School Meals and living in Northern Ireland’s most deprived areas and within a 15-mile radius of Titanic Belfast – can apply by the end of September. “We have identified transport as being one of the main barriers for the schools who can’t facilitate school trips and wanted to do something to help some of the schools who would like to bring their pupils to Titanic Belfast for an educational experience but aren’t in the financial position to do so.
