Eligibility
All regular (.50-1.00FTE) staff members in the College Arts and Sciences who have been employed within ASC for at least two years are eligible to apply. The length of employment is calculated from the employee's date of hire by the College of Arts and Sciences until the application deadline. Eligible staff members can receive the grant once per academic year. In a competition round where there are proposals of equal merit from both repeat and first-time applicants, the selection committee gives priority to first-time applicants.
Funding
Funding supports up to 30 grants annually at up to $500 per person. A minimum of $100 of support from the home unit (department or college) is required to be eligible for an ASC Staff Grant. If the total amount requested from ASC and the unit is less than $200, the unit’s financial commitment would be half the total budget. If the department contribution is paid directly to the staff member, the department is responsible for any corresponding gross-up amount related to their contribution. Grants are to be used within one year of being awarded.
Deadlines
Applicants will be notified of the SAC committee's decision via email approximately four weeks following the application deadline.
There are three annual deadlines:
- September 28, 2018 by 4 p.m.
- February 1, 2019 by 4 p.m.
