MILES Grant Program for Schools
Please Note: The Center is currently only scheduling self-guided (teacher led) field trips. With health and safety precautions in mind, we have temporarily suspended our onsite guided tours. However, we can schedule you and your students for a virtual guided tour based on any of our onsite guided tours. We also offer a variety of other digital resources that we hope will enrich your classroom needs. We will update this page should this change. Links are provided below:

- Access Online Resources
- MILES Grants for Admission, Lodging, and Transportation Assistance
- BRAND NEW! Clue for Your Classrooms – resources, activities, and digital curriculum

Sinclair Oil Companies generously provides funding for a grant program for schools in the Rocky Mountain West to travel to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West for a field trip. This is a traveling grant that helps defray the cost of transportation and lodging, in whole or part, for our MILES (Museum Interpretation, Learning, and Enrichment for Students) program.

“My class and I could try for a hundred years and could not thank you enough for giving us the grant to go to Cody. It was the best field trip ever and I will never forget you for allowing us to go on this amazing trip. We learned so much and almost none of it could have been taught in a classroom.”
—6th Grader, Lincoln Elementary, Rock Springs, Wyoming
