Summer deadline:  July 16 (awarded August 9)

VCLD competitive mini-grants are intended to support innovative, classroom-based programs/interventions designed for students with learning disabilities. The applicant must be a full-time teacher in Virginia schools and a current member of VCLD. Two mini-grants of $500 each will be awarded. Mini-grant recipients are expected to submit a summary report with applicable documentation to VCLD and to disseminate results of the programs/interventions at the VCLD annual symposium (grant winners will be given a reduced rate for VCLD symposium attendance).

Janeen Dofflemeyer, the recipient of our most recent mini-grant, will be using the funds awarded for her “College Fit” Day, which will provide high school students with disabilities in grades 10-12 an authentic college visit and the opportunity to speak to college students with disabilities.
