The educational programming at Flight 93 National Memorial includes lesson plans geared towards grades 4-5 grade, 6-8 and grade levels 9-12, respectively, with a focus on themes of action, honor, democracy and teamwork.

These programs utilize multimedia, exhibits, oral presentations and the memorial landscape to deliver a unique learning opportunity. The Flight 93 National Memorial Learning Center is a classroom where teachers, students, park rangers and volunteers identify and explore the story of Flight 93, and September 11, 2001. Program lengths are adjustable depending on visitation time.

Transportation grant scholarships come on a first-come, first-serve basis. Arrangements for transportation to and from Flight 93 National Memorial will be the responsibility of the teacher or group leader participating. After the education program takes place, bus invoicing must be billed to the Friends. Invoices must include a cover sheet with payment information and instructions for Friends' staff to process grant funding to bus company vendors.

Application for a transportation scholarship does not guarantee financial assistance will be available for your group. Only groups with documented approval prior to date of visit will receive transportation scholarship payments.
