Class Visits : Busing Funds

We recognize that the need for bus funds is great and in an effort to make our reimbursement dollars go farther we are offering a reimbursement up to the maximum charged by your school district, but not to exceed $100 per bus, per visit. In order to allow as many schools as possible to take advantage of this, we will offer a total reimbursement of $300 per school, per year.

Please follow these easy steps to receive payment:

  1. Be sure to request bus reimbursement funds when scheduling a docent tour with the Museum of Art.
  2. Follow your district’s procedure to schedule a bus as soon as you have made arrangements for a docent tour.
  3. When the tour is completed, submit an invoice from your transportation department along with a letter on your school letterhead to the Museum requesting reimbursement for the trip.
  4. Please include the school’s name and complete address, the teacher’s name and grade level, the date of the trip, and the school tax ID#. Your request must be received within three months of the tour date to receive payment.
  5. Send invoice to:
    Education Department
    The University of Michigan Museum of Art
    525 South State Street
    Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1354
  6. The University will send your school a check within 6 to 8 weeks of receipt of your invoice.

We look forward to seeing you and your class at the Museum of Art.
