Well, it’s been a busy few months here in the Grant Development Office. Chabot submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation for starting a Math/Science scholarship program. The grant not only provides scholarships for promising Math/Science students who will be recruited for Learning Connection academic support services but also supports recruiting efforts for the Math/Science division. Many thanks to Donna Gibson, Bruce Mayer, Cindy Hicks, Sally Jahnke, Rajinder Samra, and Carolyn Arnold for your efforts in putting the proposal together!
Two foundation applications were also submitted to Kaiser Permanente and Team Up for Youth in support of the Chabot College Summer Youth Program, an integral part of College outreach efforts. Each summer, the program brings low-income middle and high school youth from the local attendance area to participate in sports and academic enrichment activities. The program also provides summer jobs for many of the Chabot student athletes. Thank you Richard Talmo, Roberto Mendez, and Gerald Shimada for your assistance with these applications!
Chabot also signed three MOU’s for after school program partnerships with three local school districts: San Leandro Unified School District, Hayward Unified School District, and the Leadership Schools. If funded, these after school programs will provide tutoring employment opportunities to Chabot students who would work in local elementary, middle and high schools. Thank you Roberto Mendez, Melinda Matsuda, and Ronald Taylor for forging these new relationships!
This website has also been updated to include updated grant alerts and documents and worksheets that help facilitate the grant planning and writing process. Check out the new links: a new webpage of FAQ’s, updated links, decision matrix, grant questionnaire worksheet and proposal planning checklist have also been added.
The Grant Development Office will remain busy in the coming months planning, developing and writing grant proposals for Fall deadlines and sending out grant alerts. Look out for the Year-End Grant Development Office Newsletter coming out in May. Feel free to contact the Grant Development Office anytime if you have information about potential funding sources or want to toss around any ideas for future projects!
