Professional Development Grant for higher education faculty
Professional Development Grants provide higher education faculty with opportunities to acquire and share new skills and knowledge. These skills might include new instructional ideas, technology, conference attendance, etc.
Members may request up to $3,000 to acquire these skills and share new learning. Members should also seek in-kind funds to help finance the venture.

The Foundation Board of Trustees – teachers and support professionals who are Education Minnesota members – reviews all applications. The Foundation strongly encourages all grant recipients to attend a recognition ceremony at the April 2012 Representative Convention.
Before beginning the application process, ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I an active, dues-paying member of Education Minnesota?
- Will the professional development I seek help me improve my job performance?
- Will I be able to participate in the professional development opportunity and apply the learnings?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, you can feel confident that the Foundation will give your application serious consideration.
If you answered "no" to some of the questions, visit these pages:
