RFP: AACTE State Chapter Support Grant Program
AACTE is pleased to offer the State Chapter Support Grant Program for a 5th year, directing member dues toward strengthening the relationship between state chapters and AACTE and supporting the development of chapters through their initiatives.
For the 2015-2016 academic year, AACTE will award grants of up to $10,000 to applicants with an existing state chapter or deans group, or to consortia of chapters. Priority funding areas include policy/advocacy, program quality, and partnership and communication. In addition, grants of up to $5,000 are targeted for chapter development and capacity building, available to member institutions interested in establishing a new state chapter or to existing chapters in which less than 50% of the membership also belongs to AACTE.
All states and previous grant winners are eligible and encouraged to apply. Please note that all applicants must complete the 2015 state chapter annual report prior to submitting their application.
The deadline for all applications is Friday, April 17, 5:00 p.m. EDT. Applicants will be notified of awards by Monday, May 11. The request for proposals is available online (member login required).
