Professional Development

Individuals in the higher education community can apply for College Life Protected grants toward professional development opportunities such as conference registration fees, financial services training, student success initiatives, industry-specific institutes, access to academic journals, and experiential learning programs that are directly aligned with higher education, student financial well-being & student success, and institutional effectiveness.

College Life Protected’s professional development grants support initiatives that have a clear and direct impact on student success within higher education, particularly in the areas of financial literacy, residential engagement, student financial services. Preference will be given to opportunities that build relevant expertise, strengthen professional networks within higher education, and equip recipients with practical tools to better support students and campus communities.

Applications that fall outside of higher education, student success, or student financial services priorities are unlikely to be considered.
