Grant Fundings for Membership!
GPACAC has dedicated funds to assist secondary schools or community based organizations who have limited resources for memberships and professional development to join GPACAC in 25-26. Public institutions and CBO partners will have priority, however private institutions without adequate funding will also be considered. The Membership & Engagement Committee will review applications/requests on a first-come, first-serve basis, and will award grant funding until funds are no longer available.
GPACAC is excited to announce three summer institutes geared towards college admissions professionals who have less than 5 years of experience. Each professional development event will include educational sessions, networking, and collaborative opportunities.
