Presidential Grants

The Presidential Grants Program is focused on improving student academic performance, progress and completion rates.

This year’s grant proposals must align with our theme of “Re-engaging Our Students.” Grant proposals should focus on those metrics associated with improving academic performance. Goals such as improving, increasing enrollment and retention, and enhancing teaching and learning should be identified in the grant application.
