Proposals are requested for projects during 2010-2012 that address one of the two following emphases: 1) Institutional efforts to examine, learn from and to make sustainable initiatives that foster the gains from the relationship between college students’ civic development and their psychosocial well-being; and 2) institutional ability to demonstrate the evaluation and sustainability of initiatives that address the increasing opportunities for students to have transformative educational experiences and for institutions to transform priorities and practices so as to make such experiences both expected and provided.

Amount: $2,500

Date due: Rolling basis after 01/01/10.

Mini-grants up to $2,500 are available to institutions initiating, or extending, conversations on their
campus that lead to the planning, implementation, or assessment of program or research projects directly related to the objectives of BTtoP and to either of the emphases for the 2010-2012 period.

Student programming grants are available under the Mini-grant category. These grants are available to student-led organizations or initiatives to develop programs for and by students that are consistent with the objectives of BTtoP.
