INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the C-CUE Microgrants Program is to support staff and faculty of member

institutions for technology related professional development opportunities. Awards of up to

$1,000 are made on a rolling basis. Total awards will be capped at $3,000 per fiscal year.

ELIGIBILITY

The C-CUE Microgrants Program awards grants to individuals actively employed by member

institutions in good standing.

Individuals may request funds for training or for attendance at a conference or other

professional activity that will advance the individual’s career goals, or that would provide

valuable information for the individual’s institution.

Individuals will be required to prepare and present a presentation related to the training or

conference event at the C-CUE meeting workshop following their grant funded event.

Applicants are required to complete and submit a Microgrant application. The proposal must

provide detailed information about the need for the funding, goals and outcomes and a budget.

Please submit one letter of support from your institutional leadership as well as a current

resume. These items should be emailed to governingboard@ccue.org.

Should the proposal be reviewed favorably, a memorandum of agreement which would provide

clarification or more information about the grant funding may be requested.

REVIEW PROCESS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

Submissions will be reviewed by designated representatives of the C-CUE organization.

Applicants will be contacted if further information is needed. Applications will be evaluated on

the ability of the development opportunity to significantly impact their instruction, business

processes or procedures, or support capabilities.

awards will be required to prepare a presentation related to the training or conference event at
