A selection committee will meet twice annually, at the end of October and the beginning of May, to decide on the awarding of grants. Submission deadlines are April 24, 2013 and October 9, 2013. It is expected that $2600 will be available for grants to be awarded this spring. The maximum award to subsidize tuition will be $250; other grants will be for amounts up to $500, although requests smaller than $500 are encouraged to maximize the number of grants that can be awarded.
