The Community College Instructors ACT Attendance Travel Grant aims to help alleviate some of the financial burden of attending this year's STP’s in-person Annual Conference on Teaching (ACT) for instructors of psychology at community colleges.

Consistent with our Mission Statement and the Statement on Addressing Systemic Racism and Inequity in STP, we encourage applications from STP members who are from underrepresented groups and have diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Description and Size of Grant

The grant will total $1000 to assist with travel costs related to attending this year's ACT in-person conference. All reimbursable travel expenses must comply with STP's Travel Reimbursement Guidelines. 

Please review the policies regarding STP awards and grant programs.
