This program is limited to funding of up to $2,000 and is similar to the Research Expense Grant Program. TAME funds may be used for almost any expense related to the improvement of teaching, advising or mentoring of BC students. For instance, funds may be used for supplies or equipment not covered by departmental budgets or faculty development at teaching oriented workshops. These funds may not be used to attend research oriented conferences; however, funds may be used to attend a teaching oriented workshop at a research conference.
Applications for the TAME program will be reviewed twice during the academic year, once each semester.

All full-time faculty are eligible for the TAME Grant.
