Minigrant Program

In 1991, TTC and the TTC Foundation established a Minigrant Program to provide funds to faculty and staff for instructional equipment, materials and special resources to enhance student learning. Additional criteria for funding include requests that increase student accessibility, safety, or employee efficiency in serving students. In 2014-15, the faculty/staff received 94 minigrants totaling $123,676. Sources of financial support for the awards include the TTC Foundation Annual Campaign, the TTC faculty and staff Campus Campaign and the College. Each minigrant has a limit of $1,600. The minigrant application opens on the first of September, and notification and instructions are sent to faculty and staff at that time.
