Field Trip

The Eisenhower Foundation's generous donors help cover expenses associated with K-12 IKEducation Learning Experiences. IKE Onsite visits are free of charge to students and a specified number of adult chaperones. Additionally, as long as funds are available, IKEducation will provide as much funding as possible to reimburse accredited public and private schools' expenses incurred to bring students to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. What about our IKE Online programs? FREE. IKE Express? That is also FREE within a one-hour radius of Abilene or in the Dane Hansen region of NW Kansas. We know the many obstacles teachers and public schools face financially, and we do whatever we can to remove them in order to provide unique learning experiences.
