APA SERVICE LEARNING GRANT COMPETITIONS

APA SERVICE LEARNING GRANT COMPETITIONS

This is a reminder of the APA Committee on Teaching grant competitions,
which were announced last spring. Funds are still available, but you must
apply by December 15th, 2002.

1. Up to forty persons will receive $50 for submitting innovative course
and syllabi material on philosophy and service learning to the APA
Teaching Committee web site.  To submit your materials and qualify for a
small grant, please go to the APA website's homepage at www.udel.edu/apa
and click on "Teaching Online Resource Center's Community Service Learning
Resources Section now online for viewing and accepting postings" under
"News and Announcements." The Teaching Committee reserves the right to
refuse a posting.

 2. Up to 16 persons will receive $500-$800 grants for community service
learning course development. The criteria for these grant awards are the
following:
 a. The proposed project involves students in a community service learning
project that significantly integrates philosophical skills and content
with service to the community.  Thus, the course has a clear reflective
component and shows interaction of course concepts and skills with the
service being performed.
 b. The project demonstrates a clear need for financial assistance to
develop the project, e.g. need for student assistant help.
 c. The project demonstrates the possibility of being shared and utilized
by others.
 For information and a proposal form, please contact Jacquelyn Kegley at

The Workshop and Grant Competitions are underwritten by a grant to the APA
Committee on Teaching from Campus Compact of Brown University.
