Museum Experience Fund

Last year, more than 37,000 students from local and regional schools walked through our doors and learned valuable lessons about the impact of unchecked hatred and racism. However, not every child in our community has the opportunity to visit the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. The per-student cost, while reasonable for most, is problematic or completely impossible for students at Title 1 and low-income schools.

GIVE THE GIFT OF EDUCATION - FUND A STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP TO VISIT THE MUSEUM

Students from Title 1 qualified and low-income schools can receive a scholarship to cover tour, transportation, and program costs. Begun in 2013, the goal of the Museum Experience Fund is to ensure that every student --regardless of financial circumstance--can learn the history of the Holocaust and human rights and their timely lessons.

A visit to the Museum has significant benefits for students. Based on an independent study, following a visit to the Museum:

Your generosity will support our community’s most at-risk students, covering bus transportation to and from the Museum, admission, programming, lessons for teachers, and written materials for students during their visit.

Every day at the Museum, tomorrow’s leaders arrive with their classmates on school buses. We owe it to them, and to our community, to teach them to be Upstanders instead of bystanders.
