Charles V. Evans Research Grant

Charles V. Evans Research Grant

Each year the Illinois Council on Continuing Higher Education (ICCHE) accepts proposals for the Charles V. Evans Research Grant of up to $2,000 to support the organization’s purpose of “arranging for information gathering and research related to continuing higher education.”

ICCHE welcomes the opportunity to support research that you may have already begun in your institution, or research that you would like to begin. Keep in mind that it should be of benefit to continuing education, credit or non-credit, in higher education.

Applicants are encouraged to submit grant proposals for the award that will be announced at the ICCHE conference in February. The deadline for submission is January 15.
