Sponsored Admissions Program

Zoo Atlanta is thrilled to offer free admission to a limited number of Georgia Title I Schools for their students.

Applications for this awarding cycle are closed. Check back again in the Fall!

Schools can choose from three programs in the application:

APPLICATION PROCESS (Applications for this awarding cycle are closed!):

  • The Sponsored Admission Program is offered based on availability of funds. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
  • Applications are not accepted for entire schools. One application is submitted per class or individual school group. All other interested persons within the school must apply separately to be considered for the program.
  • If accepted into the program, you will be required to complete a brief survey that will be emailed to you after your Zoo visit.
  • If your application is approved, Zoo Atlanta Education Reservations will notify the contact(s) listed on the application to make registration arrangements.

RESERVATIONS:

  • Final headcount is due 4 weeks in advance for Wild Walks and Virtual Programs, and 2 weeks in advance for Self-Guided Field Trips.
  • All participants must arrive and enter the Zoo at the same time. Additional adult chaperones are currently not permitted due to time-entry protocols.
  • The school is responsible for any other costs related to in-person field trips, including but not limited to transportation to and from the Zoo, lunch for the students and in-park activities.
