In support of the college’s strategic plan, OTC will award three grants of up to $10,000 each (one per Strategic Initiative area) for projects that leverage innovation and improve college operations. The audience of full-time faculty and staff will then vote to determine the winners. This popular program is back to provide areas of the college with up to $1,000 to support evidence-based initiatives for student success. These grants are awarded for projects demonstrating clear plans to meet the college’s institutional priority of student success.
