Funding Opportunity: Planning Grants for Collaborative Programs

The Appalachian College Association invites proposals for planning collaborative projects among subsets of its member institutions, in anticipation that such planning could result in projects that could benefit a broader set of ACA member institutions in the future.

Proposed planning projects may be in any area of institutional operations and will ideally involve at least three ACA institutions. Potential collaborative projects might include faculty/staff professional development, cross-institutional shared positions or functions, collaborative research programs, collaborative student services, and the like.

A total of $100,000 is available for these planning projects. 

Register for the 7/16/2025 webinar to learn more about this opportunity.
