FLANC is sponsoring Mini Grants for the purpose of promoting and encouraging K-Post-secondary educators in their endeavors to stimulate learning and awareness of languages other than English.
Membership has its benefits! Only current FLANC members are eligible.
This year, there are two funding options for the mini-grant: 1) FLANC Mini-grant and 2) Klett World Languages Sponsored Mini-Grants for Project- and Task-based Learning (see below for more details). When applying, you will be asked to indicate which grant you are applying for.
FLANC mini grants (up to $300) support educational projects designed to promote world language teaching and learning in North Carolina. The grants are available on a competitive basis. Applicants are urged to use these grants to leverage additional funding from their schools or other sources for the development of their grant project.
Klett World Languages is partnering with FLANC to provide 4-6 annual mini-grants a year for up to $500 per grant. This grant is designed to support North Carolina world language educators in designing and delivering high-impact project-based or task-based learning experiences. In your application, you will be asked to describe how the funds will support project-based or task-based learning for your project.
