Emerging Chapter Grant
MCAA/JRGF seek to award newly founded MCAA student chapters with an Emerging Chapter Grant to help get the ball rolling on creating a sustainable student chapter. To apply, a student chapter must be less than 5 years from receiving their charter and show their commitment to building a successful student chapter. Each new student chapter has the opportunity to receive this grant up to 3x within 5 years of receiving their charter.
Inactive chapters may also apply for this grant to assist in their chapter’s rebuilding efforts. Inactive chapters may only receive this grant 1 time. An inactive chapter is defined as not having any attendees at MCAA national events for 5+ years.
Emerging Chapter grants are reviewed on a rolling basis.
