University Park, Pa. -- Penn State's Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) is seeking grant proposals for projects to improve undergraduate education at Penn State. The deadline for proposals is March 20.

The Center hopes to make many awards in the range of $3,000 to $5,000, although requests for up to $10,000 will be considered. The source of the grants is the Office of Undergraduate Education's Fund for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (FELT), which the Center oversees.

The Center is looking for proposals for projects that could make a lasting impact on undergraduate education. The projects should involve a range of good practices, including:

-- increasing student-faculty contact;

-- encouraging active learning;

-- collaborating across disciplines at the general education level; and

-- making smart use of information technology.

For guidelines and applications forms, contact the Center at (814) 863-2599.
