Grants and Awards
Pedagogical partnerships are at the heart of STLI’s mission. STLI grants and awards support a wide variety of research and practice in our learning environment. Each year, W&M instructors are invited to submit applications for several opportunities. You can apply for multiple grants, but you may only accept one grant per year.
