The York Technical College Foundation Board, in conjunction with York Technical College leadership, has recently created an Innovation Mini-Grants Program available to college faculty, staff, and student organizations working with a faculty or staff member. 

The intent of the program is to: 1) provide financial support for projects that promote innovation and promote student success; and 2) provide recognition to faculty and staff members who demonstrate a commitment to student success through the development of innovative ideas and approaches in their area of expertise or teaching.

The program application form is to be completed and submitted by April 1, 2010. Multiple grants ranging up to $1,000 will be awarded. Awards will be made based upon the anticipated results and potential impact they have on student success.  Our intent is to evaluate the applications and announce awards at the "End of Year Meeting" in May. 

We are excited to be able to provide this opportunity for recognition and financial support to you and your students. We encourage you to consider this as a resource to help accomplish your goals as well to contribute to our continuing focus on promoting student success.

Please feel free to contact the following individuals in the Development Office for more information on applying for the grants:
