Replacement equipment costs for program continuation, including new filter sponges, filter media, and water quality test kits, range from $150.00 to $250.00. Field trip costs like bussing and program supplies can add additional expenses.
To ease this financial burden for teachers and help support the thousands of students engaged each year in PA TIC, the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited. (PATU) awards funding to TIC teachers annually through the TIC Existing Program Grant. This grant helps fund costs up to $500 associated with keeping an existing and already-established TIC program running. These costs include specific replacement aquarium equipment and field trips. |
