America’s Field Trip 2024 Awardees

America’s Field Trip is a new, nationwide scholastic contest encouraging students to reflect on what America means to them. Thousands of students from across the country submitted inspiring entries, responding to the prompt “What does America mean to you?” for the first-ever America’s Field Trip contest. A panel of current and former educators selected 150 students as awardees, hailing from 44 states and territories.

Each first-place awardee will take part in a special field trip experience at one of America’s iconic historical and cultural sites and second-place awardees will receive a $500 cash award.
