We will spend 3 days in Washington DC and 3 more days in New York City exploring and learning about our nation's history. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the cost. There is also travel insurance and overnight security.  See some of the tour highlights below.

Applying for this needs-based scholarship:

  1. Have your child write a brief essay (no more than 250 words) answering the question, "Why do you want to go on this EF Explore America Tour?"

  2. A parent/guardian must complete the Explorer Scholarship application.

  3. Submit the application by the deadline specified below.
