NCAA Ethnic Minority and Women's Internship Grant Program 2014

Background:

NCAA Division III strives to be a dynamic and engaging group of colleges, universities and conferences of varying sizes and missions, committed to an environment that encourages and supports diversity and inclusion, values fairness and equity, and places the highest priority on the overall educational experience of the student-athlete in the conduct of intercollegiate athletics.

To facilitate this effort, Division III continues to support the Ethnic Minority and Women's Internship Grant program with its member institutions and conference offices, to provide monetary grants for those institutions and conference offices seeking to create professional administrative opportunities for minorities and women, and to enhance diversity and inclusion within their athletics administrative staffs.

Eligibility

Division III will fund two-year Ethnic Minority and Women's Internship Grants. These $23,100 grants are designated for Division III institutions and conference offices to hire a 10-month full-time individual, give that person the opportunity for learning in administration/coaching beginning the fall of 2014. It is the responsibility of the institution or conference office to provide administrative supervision and mentorship as a requirement of participation.

Covered Expenses

Funding will cover the intern's salary ($20,100) and $3,000 to cover the cost of the intern attending professional development activities (i.e., NCAA Convention, NCAA Emerging Leaders Seminar, Regional Rules Seminar, conference meetings or NACWAA Convention, NACWAA/NCAA Women's Leadership Symposium, NACADA Convention, NACDA Convention, N4A Convention). The institution or conference office will be responsible for providing an in-kind contribution of at least $3,700 per year. These funds should be applied towards the intern's personal living expenses (i.e., insurance, housing, meal plan, technology allocation, etc.) Please note that taxes are not considered as an in-kind contribution and that the in-kind gift should be sufficient relative to the region's cost of living.

The application deadline is January 30, 2014.
