How many applied?

Page 5 is the Detail Budget for Program Activities. The lower part of the form asks for location where equipment will be housed. The auditors may ask where equipment is today. Faculty need to know where things are.

VI-Use of Funds Worksheet. There are 9 categories. If funding is received from CTEA you can address 9 issues but it doesn’t mean you need to address all 9 issues.

Another change is found on page 9 for the CTEA proposal which now asks whether there involves technology or construction. If requesting hardware or software, ask Don Treat to look the proposal over before submitting.

Jack Selph said construction does not have electrical outlet. Facilities says it can’t be done. Mike said to address issuesbefore submitting proposal. Stephanie or Dan can out 519 forms.

The CTEA Advisory, composed of the Deans on campus will get all the applications, read and judge on criteria. Make sure application addresses 6 criteria. Aim for 3. The Deans will read, prioritize, and submit to the Vice President and President who have final say so to select.

What is the maximum amount to get? Most likely there will be$300K for whole school. Several weeks ago everyone received a from Dr. Rapp. Use this survey to find out how many economy challengedstudents there are and determine percentages.

Final decision for allotment, factors in how many disadvantaged students there are in the division. Unless you address disadvantaged student population on the application its doubtful committee looks at the figures. Contact Irene Graff for survey results and use to fill out application.

The Program Identification Form – Look at it as part of a rubric. Success and Retention is not on rubric. CTEA is to improve your program and money is needed to update curriculum. Expand your program with different software. CTEA can cover for software the 1st time, and thenadd to your Plan Builder referred to consumable supplies, i.e. printer, gas through welder. Ask for it initially, but then put into Plan Builder.
