Here in Assessment, we know that your ultimate goal is to help your students succeed—ours
is too. Our intention with these grants is to support you, the faculty, in your innovative
practices in the assessment of student learning. Assessment of Student Learning Grants
are intended for faculty who design assessment projects in their courses, programs,
departments, or colleges. Instructors use the funds to offer an opportunity for learning
and reflection on student learning.
Apply for the Grant
Applying is easy; simply think about what you want to know about your students’ learning,
think of a way to assess it, and fill out a proposal form. If you would like a thinking
partner or would feel more comfortable running your assessment plan by a member of
our team, email us at Assessment@MissouriState.edu to set up a meeting.
To successfully complete the proposal form, you must be signed into your Office 365 account for the proposal form to work.
Grant awards are $750 and will be awarded in the form of faculty stipends.
What happens when I get a grant?
When a proposal is chosen for funding, the applicant will pay for the project and
will be reimbursed once their final report has been submitted and approved (these
reports are due by six months from the beginning of the project). Please note, Assessment Grants may not be used to subsidize travel or food.
Only one proposal per applicant is eligible for funding in an academic year.
Once applicants receive notification of funding, they must complete and return a budget
form and an Internal Approval form to the Office of Assessment within 30 days.
Grants are now available. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis throughout
the semester.
