Innovation Grants
App State business faculty, and staff with instructional responsibilities, are encouraged to submit proposals for the Walker College's Innovation Grants for Transformational Educational Experiences Promoting Engagement and Impact.
The purpose of the grant awards is to foster educational engagement, accelerate innovation, and amplify the impact of Walker College of Business education.
Academic and practice-oriented engagement is reflected in activities that support the integration of relevant, current business and management theory across teaching, research, and service, consistent with the Walker College mission and its supporting strategies. Quality business education requires the right mix of academic and practice-oriented engagement. Student academic and professional engagement occurs when students are actively involved in their educational experiences in both academic and professional settings and can connect these experiences in meaningful ways.
Proposals are reviewed annually by the Instructional Innovation Grants Committee. Grant awards range from $500 to $5,000, with higher amounts for proposals that require substantial effort and have the greatest potential for innovative engagement and impact. Priority is given to proposals that align with the Walker College mission, vision, values, and strategic goals. For more information, contact Dr. Jacqui Bergman, bergmanjz@appstate.edu.
