Applications for the first round of Charles Sturt University (CSU) 2015 Community-University Partnerships (CUP) Grant Program are sought from organisations in Albury-Wodonga. CSU invites applications from relevant community organisations across the University's regional footprint for the Rural and Regional Education Development Program category which replaces the former 'Schools Development Grants' category and now includes early childhood. Head of Campus at CSU in Albury-Wodonga, Professor Julia Coyle, said, "I am delighted to advise that the 2015 CUP for grants to schools and early childhood education centres in our region is now open and encourage all relevant organisations to consider applying. Charles Sturt University acknowledges and supports educational endeavours for students in the region, and these small grants are designed to assist primary and secondary schools and not-for-profit early childhood centres to acquire equipment or consumables that facilitate learning. As Head of Campus at the University in Albury-Wodonga I look forward to receiving grant applications." Applications for CUP Rural and Regional Education Development Program category close on Monday 31 March.
