Robert Merriam Scholarship Fund

The Robert Fairbanks Merriam Scholarship Fund supports children attending camps at the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium by making these science and nature-based enrichment programs available to more people through partial or full tuition awards. This scholarship fund helps overcome financial obstacles so more children and families benefit from programs designed to spark curiosity and a passion for learning.
