A maximum award size of $50,000 can be requested for this funding cycle. Proposals that leverage funds from the ASPB Education Foundation with support from other sources are encouraged, particularly for proposals that request a full $50,000 budget.

Proposals are encouraged from ASPB members from both within and outside the United States, and projects may serve communities from any country.
