SBS Staff Grants
SBS Staff Professional Development Grant
These grants are open to all full-time staff within SBS and are intended to provide professional development opportunities not otherwise available through existing units. Opportunities may include conference attendance, trainings, webinars, bringing in outside speakers or trainers, and other forms of professional development.
Staff are eligible for up to $2,000 each from SBS per two fiscal years, to be matched 1:1 by their home departments, for a maximum amount of $4,000 per staff per two fiscal year. The maximum amount can be reached over the course of multiple grant requests, but cannot exceed the maximum within a given two fiscal year period. Departments that already provide staff with professional development funds can redeploy those funds towards the departmental match.

SBS Advising Professional Development Grant
These grants are open to all full-time academic and career and professional development advisors within SBS and are intended to provide professional development opportunities not otherwise available through existing units. Opportunities may include conference attendance, trainings, webinars, bringing in outside speakers or trainers, and other forms of professional development.
Because conferences and other professional development opportunities occur at various times throughout the year, applications for this grant are accepted on a rolling basis. We anticipate offering approximately ten SBS grants of up to $1,000 each year, to be matched 1:1 by departments, for a total maximum grant of $2,000 per person or group. For SBS Pathways Center advisors, the SBS Dean's Office will serve as the "department" match. Departments that provide staff with professional development funds can redeploy those funds towards the departmental match.
