Grants

In 2016, the DMHSAEA is pleased to have funded five applications for a total of $6,404.10. 
In 2017, we funded three grants for a total of $3,659 (see just below for details).  

This brings the total since our first grant in 2009 to $43,674.

We now use a rolling application process.  There are no application deadlines and we will evaluate applications within two months in most cases.  We may ask for revisions before funding, so if you want the funds to be available in time for the start of the 2018-19 academic year, submit the application by the end of April 2018.  However, applications submitted now (late May 2018) may still be fundable in time if no major changes are needed.

You can download the 2018 application via the link below or request one from DMHSAEA Board member Larry Golbe (golbe@rutgers.edu).  The application changes a little each year, so be sure to download the current version.
