Starting a new TIC program can cost around $1,500-$1,600 to purchase an aquarium, stand, filter, chiller, and other necessary supplies.
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 busing and program supplies can add additional expenses. To ease this financial burden for teachers, the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited. (PATU) awards funding to TIC teachers annually through the TIC Grant Program. Grants up to $1,000 can help keep existing TIC programs running. Funding is also available for assistance starting a new TIC program. |
Made possible through a unique partnership between the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited (PATU) and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC), Pennsylvania Trout In the Classroom (PA TIC) is an interdisciplinary environmental education program in which students learn about current and past impacts, management, and protection and enhancement opportunities of Pennsylvania's coldwater resources, while raising trout in the classroom.
