Foundation Offers Innovation Grants to Faculty and Staff

The SFSC Foundation is pleased to offer Innovation Grants to employees of the College. These grants were established to support self-contained projects that make an innovative contribution to the College by improving the quality of the teaching and learning process. All College employees are eligible to apply. The maximum level of funding per project through this grant program is $1,500. Approval and funding of projects will depend upon budgeted funds available in any year.

For approved grants, a report detailing the number attending (if applicable) and the benefits derived from the event or project to the College must be submitted to the Foundation within two weeks of completion of the event or project. Please also include a brief financial recap. The report will be submitted to the Foundation Board of Directors.
