All Chapter Grant Applications are reviewed during BCMEA Table Officers & Executive Committee Meetings.  Meetings generally occur in September, October, January, April, and June.  Please plan accordingly as we cannot review any applications outside of our meeting dates.

A maximum grant allocation of $400 is available per organization and up to 5 grants are awarded each fiscal year (July 1/June 30).  Organizations are welcome to apply every fiscal year.

After a successful application, a journal article for the BCMEA Journal is to be written by the applicant.
