ACCA Announces Grant Opportunities



The American College Counseling Association (ACCA) announces two research grant opportunities for the 2006-2007 year. These grants can provide various financial support methods to you and your research team such as:

• Pay yourself a salary
• Hire a research design or statistical consultant
• Compensate your participants
• Compensate secretary(ies)
• Pay for web services
• Pay for professional production and copying of materials
• Hire graduate students

Individuals may submit, or be a part of a submission team, for only one proposal. The following is a general description of the two types of awards available:

  1. Annual Research Grants. ACCA seeks to support research that fosters a greater understanding of professional counseling as it relates to college student populations and the professionals who serve those populations. Therefore, ACCA will award two $500 grants for research in the area of college counseling. These investigations include counseling at community, vocational, and technical institutions as well as colleges and universities.
  2. Funded Research Award: This funded research is designed to recognize and honor individuals who are seeking to complete a comprehensive research study (e.g., thesis, dissertation, or major research project) investigating the “effects of college counseling practices on college student retention”. The Funded Research Award provides a cash award of up to $5000.00.

Both of the financial supports are open to all members of ACCA. Students are especially encouraged to apply. The deadline for both of the proposals is March 1, 2008. Online submission of proposals are preferred. You can send a proposal through an attachment to one of the co-chairs.
