Academic Fee Waiver Information Academic fee waivers are granted to educational institutions whose curriculum relates specifically to the resources at Lava Beds National Monument. These waivers only impact the park entrance fee. Camping fees for overnight stays will still be charged. Completed applications along with required documentation may be submitted via e-mail or mail. Email (Preferred) : Mail: Applications are requested four weeks prior to your anticipated trip. Additional Information National Park Service regulations allow school groups and other approved national and international academic institutions to obtain a waiver of park entrance fees, provided the visit is for educational or scientific purposes, and the resources or facilities that the group intends to use support those purposes. Academic fee waivers are not granted automatically. Applicant groups must demonstrate that they qualify for the waiver. There are three requirements (listed below) that the group must meet to qualify for an academic fee waiver: eligibility, educational purpose, and relevancy of park resources or facilities. Requirement #1 - Educational Purpose
Requirement #2 - Educational Purpose and Relevance of Park Resources |
