Sponsored Education Admissions (SEA) Grant

Sponsored Education Admissions

Georgia Aquarium offers a Sponsored Education Admissions (SEA) Grant to Title 1 schools and select non-profits with education as part of its mission located in the State of Georgia. This grant provides free self-guided admission when visiting with a field trip, ensuring that diverse audiences, regardless of economic status, have an opportunity to experience the wonders of the Aquarium. We’re able to provide the SEA Grant thanks to private charitable donations from generous corporations, foundations, and individuals.

Please review the requirements and policies before submitting an application.
