ACKCSC Charitable Trust Grant Application Information

 

There are now 4 separate forms that must be completed / submitted at various times throughout the life of the process. Additionally, we have created parallel instruction documents to assist you in completing the forms. These forms are:

          1. Grant Proposal (Cover Sheet and Signature Page)
          2. Grant Application
          3. Grant Progress Report
          4. Grant Final Report

When comparing the “Form” to the ‘Instruction” document you will find that they are identical with one exception. The “Instruction” document has directions and/or examples of how to complete the form; what the review committee will be looking for to help them understand your proposal. The “Form” has the same questions, but there is space after each for you to complete with your own answer. All Forms and Instruction documents can be printed if you desire to do so.

We now provide the ability to complete your application and all project reports on-line; we encourage you to use this means to submit your documentation. The file naming convention should be as follows:university name_your initials_year.file extension (for example, UGA_HEJ_2016.pdf or Cornell_HEJ_2016.pdf)

In order to use electronic submission you will need to use "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" this is the latest version of this application.  There are different means to gain access to this version if you do not have it already.   The "internet browser" that you use determines the process by which you gain access to this version of Adobe Reader.
