MINI-GRANT PROGRAM
About the Mini-Grant Program
The DTN recognizes that the Texas A&M
System includes talented administrators,
faculty, and staff who have found ways of
effectively teaching students with disabilities.
In an effort to promulgate new and
innovative teaching strategies to others
within the TAMU System, the DTN offers
mini-grants to those administrators, faculty,
and staff members who have been successful
in enhancing the educational experiences
of students with disabilities. We fund grants up to $4,000.
The mini-grants are intended to provide funds for the development, testing, and reporting of innovative teaching strategies for postsecondary students with disabilities. Possible uses of the mini-grant funds include, but are not limited to, the application of new methodologies and strategies, course and curriculum development, travel support to disability-related conferences, and acquisition of materials for the classroom.
Via the
Mini-Grant Program, grant recipients are
able to share their successful experiences and
expertise with colleagues throughout the
TAMU System.
