Proposals Being Accepted for 2008-2009 District II Venture Capital Grants

10.03.08

Recognizing the importance of professional development, the CASE District II board of directors has again allotted $10,000 to be distributed to DII member institutions for creation of continuing education opportunities. Preference will be given to programs and institutions not funded last year, although this is not a hard and fast rule.

The deadline for submission is October 31, 2008. Winners will be announced by December 1. Last year, 16 applications were submitted for funding, representing over $30,000 in requests; $10,000 was awarded. We anticipate a high level of interest again this year.

District II member institutions and professionals may apply for Venture Capital Funds at any time by using the online submission form.
