3. MAEA Conference Attendance Grant - Deadline 3/1 for Spring Conference; Deadline 9/1 for Fall Conference

We at MAEA believe that conferences work best when attended by members from all levels of academia. But we understand that attending conferences can be expensive, especially for early career art teachers. To encourage attendance, we award Conference Attendance Grants of up to $300. The awards provide a contribution towards the cost of registration, accommodations, and meals, as well as the cost of travel to and from the conference.

4. MAEA Project Grant - Deadline 10/1

The Project Grant provides financial support to MAEA members for projects. (A project is a specific art presentation, exhibit or creation of work that is fully executed within a specified timeline. Projects may include research, creative work, publications, etc.) This is designed to encourage new work, but work already begun will be considered. Funding will not be offered for projects geared solely to educational activities, supplies or materials, which should be funded by your institution.
