CRITERIA & TIMELINES
Application Criteria
Daytrippers is proud to support teachers and students across Canada by helping remove financial barriers to meaningful, curriculum-aligned learning experiences.
Our trip selection criteria are designed to keep the application process clear and accessible, while allowing us to support as many students as possible:
- This application is for a publicly funded Canadian school.
- This application is for students in Grades 1–8. Kindergarten applications are not currently accepted.
- Most approved requests are around $12–$15 per student, with limited exceptions for high-value learning experiences.
- Schools must demonstrate a clear need for financial assistance.
- Trips must align with provincial curriculum learning goals. If clarification is needed, a member of our team may follow up. We do not approve any graduation or celebratory.
- Reimbursement requests must be submitted in Canadian dollars (CAD).
- All applications are reviewed individually, based on the criteria above.
Please Note: Reimbursements are issued directly to the school. Daytrippers is unable to reimburse personal accounts. If a teacher or applicant pays for a trip personally, the school is responsible for reimbursing them internally before or upon receiving funds from Daytrippers.
When submitting your application, please ensure your contact information is accurate. Reimbursements cannot be redistributed once issued.
Application Timelines
Please allow several weeks for the mail system’s potential delays before reaching out about the status of your reimbursement. Our mailboxes are manned by volunteers, and the extreme volume of inquiries may impact response times.
