Since 2013, PCACAC has been providing help through the Student Support Grant (SSG), an opportunity to recognize members who may not always have the financial resources to implement student programming and help underwrite worthwhile initiatives that directly benefit students in the college transition process. In 2017, the Student Support Grant was awarded to Tracy Kyttle, Program Manager at Collegiate Directions, Inc. Located in Bethesda, MD, Collegiate Directions provides mentoring, tutoring, counseling, and family support for students and their families. The SSG helped their counselors deliver a college transition retreat to their graduating class before going off to college, with a full day of food, sessions and team building activities.
PCACAC is grateful for members like you who make these programs possible! We encourage you to give some thought to a student event or project that you'd like to make happen in 2018. Then, SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION by February 23.
Who may apply? PCACAC members may apply for a Student Support Grant for their own student program or they may wish to nominate a community member whose volunteer work nurtures college readiness. For detailed information about the selection criteria and application process, please review the Student Support Grant (SSG) guidelines. One $400 grant will be awarded for 2018.
Grant applications will be reviewed by the SSG Program Committee and the selected recipient (and their nominator, if applicable) will be notified by March 9, 2018. An award certificate will be presented to the recipient at PCACAC's 53rd Annual Conference at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, DE, April 15-17, 2018.
If you'd like to support the 2018 Conference, you can give any amount by texting PCACAC53 to 50155. To partner with us on a specific conference event, visit www.pcacac.org/
