Each year members of CLA are invited to submit proposals
for funding for a professional development opportunity.
Up to three grants of $500.00 will be available each
year. Funds will not roll over to the following year
if they are not used.
All applications must be submitted in writing to
each member of the grant committee by May 2, 2008.
Members of the committee will review the proposals
and award the grants at the May 15, 2008 meeting.
Each member who has been awarded a grant may not submit
another proposal for three years, and grant committee
members cannot apply for grants while they are members
of the committee.
Proposals must include the following information:
- Date of submission
- Name
- School
- Title of proposal
- Full description of the proposal
(including published information if relevant)
- Date of proposal (if appropriate)
- Total costs and funds that are needed
(food is not funded)
- Does your school have a faculty
development budget and are you eligible?
- Does your library budget provide
for conferences and enrichment?
In the event that a grant that has been awarded cannot
be used, it is up to the members to notify the chairs
of the committee before the end of the school year
so that another proposal might be awarded. Please
also be aware that if you apply for a grant that takes
place within the year and you have prepaid costs,
you may or may not receive funding.
It is expected that members that have been awarded
grants will present a half hour program to all members
at a CLA meeting the following year. Included at this
presentation will be one or more of the following:
printed information for members/demonstration/visual
presentation.
Proposals will be reviewed by the grant committee
with several criteria in mind:
- How does this proposal benefit all
members of CLA?
- How does the proposal benefit the
CLA grant applicant?
- Does the applicant’s school
provide funding for professional development?
Proposals may be sent via email and are due by Friday,
May 2, 2008 to BOTH members of the Grants Committee:
Jeff
Smith
Middlesex School
Suzanne
Levasseur
Fay School
