The purpose of this program is to provide support to College employees, to enhance and enrich student life and the lives of Montgomery County residents, and to encourage creativity and innovation.
General Guidelines
The Foundation is seeking projects that have College-wide significance and that will enrich the learning environment.
It is important that the applicants be aware that a basic evaluation point for each proposal will be on how well it connects to the advancement of any of the eight initiatives in the College's strategic plan. Awards are usually made in the range of $1,000 to $5,000..
Grants will not be given for multi-year projects, or for basic equipment, faculty leave time, activities, and programs funded through College operating monies.
