Professional Development Grants

To apply for an ACE Professional Development grant of up to $1,500, submit a one- to two-page proposal using the application form (Word document).

Your proposal should include your professional development plan, anticipated outcomes and how the grant will enhance your development opportunities. You should describe your service/activities with ACE and your involvement in the profession. The project should be completed within the upcoming year. Individual applicant must have been a member of ACE for at least three years. Team applications must have a lead person who has been a member of ACE for at least three years.

Submit your proposal and a letter of support from your supervisor to ACE Headquarters via e-mail (info@aceweb.org) by January 8, 2010.

The trustees will give weight to those that:

• have broad application so other members may benefit from professional development experience;
• generate outcomes valuable to both the applicant and the profession;
• develop new knowledge and information in our discipline;
• apply concepts or technology in innovative ways;
• demonstrate teamwork, particularly across disciplinary lines; and
• reflect the applicant’s previous service to ACE.

Amounts awarded vary based on need and funds available in a given year.
