Use the proposal above to apply. The due date is April 10, 2023.

20-Year Grants
Two $2,000 grants annually are available for faculty members who have worked at Penn Charter for 20 or more years. Traditionally, faculty members have used these funds for travel and/or other professional development activities related to their discipline. If you are interested in applying for a 20-year grant for next year, submit a letter with a description of how you plan to spend your time and a timeline for your work. Copies of your letter should be sent to Karen Warren Coleman and David Brightbill. The Personnel Committee of the Overseers will make the final decision. The due date for 20-year grant proposals is April 10, 2023.

Use the proposal above to apply. The due date for summer work proposals is April 10, 2023.
