The ACPA - College Student Educators International Commission for Admissions, Orientation and the First Year Experience (AOFYE) and the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (National ResourceCenter) invite applicants for their 2012 Research Grant Competition.
AOFYE and the National Resource Center will jointly award one grant in the amount of $500 to promote original, descriptive, or evaluative research; philosophical studies; or institutional assessment or evaluation on issues surrounding admissions, orientation, and/or the first-year experience. All ACPA members are eligible and graduate students in particular are encouraged to apply for this research grant. Because of the funding support by the National Resource Center, faculty, staff, and students from the University of South Carolina and any of its system campuses may not apply. Research at all stages will be considered, although priority will be given to projects that are further along in the research process (i.e., recently or soon to be completed).
The application deadline is November 14, 2011. Award recipient(s) will be notified on or about December 19, 2011 and will be invited to receive their award at the Commission Business Meeting held during the 2012 ACPA Convention in Louisville March 26-30.
