Help Inspire the Next Generation
At the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC), curiosity drives everything we do. Since opening our stateoftheart facility in 2021, we’ve welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors to explore hands on exhibits, live demos, and immersive STEAM programs. Through school partnerships, outreach, and community initiatives, we continue to expand access to meaningful science learning.
Inspire Scholarship Fund
The Inspire Scholarship Fund provides field trips for students from Title 1 Schools. Since its launch in 2025, it has supported 11 schools, 41 classes, and more than 1,000 students.
Just $20 sponsors one student, and $500 sponsors a full class of 25.
Why It Matters
Title 1 schools often lack resources for field trips, limiting equitable learning opportunities. As demand grows, the Inspire Scholarship Fund plays a vital role in opening the door to immersive STEAM education for students who need it most.
These scholarships break down financial barriers, spark curiosity, build confidence, and help young learners discover their strengths. Currently, only 19% of students from Title 1 schools in Sacramento County meet science benchmarks, compared to 45% overall—a gap this fund directly addresses.
Together, we can ensure every student has the chance to explore, imagine, and grow.
Museums for All
Museums for All (MFA) ensures that everyone—regardless of financial circumstances—can access museum experiences. Through MFA, MOSAC provides free admission to more than 7,000 people each year. Operating this program costs about $200,000 annually, or $27 per participant.
