Class Visits : Busing Funds

The Museum has funds available to help defray the cost of bringing your class to our docent-guided tours. Through generous donations from the Ann Arbor Kiwanis, Ypsilanti Kiwanis, and the Friends of the University of Michigan Museum of Art, we are able to offer a reimbursement up to the maximum charged by your school district, but not to exceed $125 per bus, per visit.

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 for UMMA Off/Site.
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:

   Debbie Swartz
   The University of Michigan Museum of Art
   915 East Washington Street
   Suite 0540 Rackham Building
   Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1070

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’s temporary gallery UMMA Off/Site.
