The Technical Assistance Program (TAP) grant can support travel, food and lodging of up to $500 for attendance to NYSCA AIE-supported events, including CommonGround, Empire State Partnership Summer Seminar, Arts in Education Regional Roundtable events, ESP Regional Learning and Leadership Network events, and NYS Alliance for Arts Education (NYSAAE) events. Unlike in the past, the TAP funds will not be able to be applied to the conference registration fees.
The application is available to be downloaded as a Word form. (Read the guidelines for TAP Grants.) After downloading and saving it as a Word document on your computer, you can fill it in and return it by email attachment to PAE. Under ”Application type” on page 1 of the form, be sure to check the box for CommonGround.
Applications will be evaluated for eligibility, and awards for CommonGround TAP grants will be determined by a lottery of all eligible applicants at the January TAP panel meeting. Recipients will know the results prior to the opening of registration for the conference in late January.
If awarded, payment will be made directly to the applicant upon receipt of a reimbursement form with receipts attached.
