The Learning and Teaching Innovation Grant provides faculty, staff, and other service departments with funds and support for applied initiatives aimed at enhancing the student experience through alignment to the pillars of the Learning and Teaching Framework (LTF). Projects should promote the LTF and reflect the spirit of a polytechnic “learning-by-doing” methodology. Before you apply for this grant, please read the Learning and Teaching Innovation Grant Information Sheet [PDF].
