Applications for the next Central Valley Higher Education Consortium 2022 Mini-Grant cycle are now being accepted and will continue until funds are allocated.

Once funds are allocated, grantees have until May 30, 2023 to finalize expenditures.

The CVHEC Mini-Grants project, currently funded by the College Futures Foundation, provides awards from $5,000 to $7,500 each which faculty from member institutions have creatively used for individual projects that help achieve the consortium’s strategy of increasing degree attainment rates.

Previous Mini-Grants have supported assistance and professional learning associated with Guided Pathways, Math Pathways, implementation of Corequisite English and math, course development and advancement of Pathways for Associate Degrees for Transfer.  The grants may also incentivize basic needs and equity, race and social justice work.

Member institutions are encouraged to apply soon to allow enough time for project completion before the expenditure deadline.
