College Budget Travel Funds Employees seeking professional development assistance must first apply for college (department) funds. If the appropriate funds have been exhausted, or if they are not sufficient to cover the activity costs, those costs may be funded, in whole or in part, by the Foundation/ F-SA Professional Development Assistance Program.
BCC Foundation Teaching Grants (Partial Funding from the Hoyt Foundation) The BCC Foundation Teaching Grant Program is designed to stimulate faculty to develop and implement extraordinary projects that support the Academic Affairs Division strategic initiatives. The program provides support to help cover the special expenses involved in the pursuit of these activities. This grant program is designed to assist with projects not typically funded through BCC Foundation/F-SA Professional Development funds. The Vice President for Academic Affairs issues a “Request for Proposals” early in the spring semester. Proposals are collected and reviewed during the spring semester for funding the following year. Full details can be found in the Professional Development public folder in Microsoft Outlook.	Adobe Word
Professional Development Assistance Program (Funded by the BCC Foundation ) The Professional Development Assistance Program (PDAP) is designed to offer partial or full funding for employees professional development/conference expenses, coursework, and other such professional growth endeavors.
SUNY Tuition Waiver Full-time regular faculty and administrators seeking tuition assistance must first apply for a SUNY Tuition Waiver. (Application forms are available in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, located in W-107.) Tuition costs not covered by the waiver may be funded by the Foundation/F-SA Professional Development Assistance Program.
