Arts-in-Education Technical Assistance Funding- September 1
Technical Assistance Program (TAP) now offers new opportunities for funding to assist schools and cultural organizations in developing their arts-in-ed programs. Simple application, fast response!

If you need an expert to help the arts-in-ed practice of your partnership or organization, you can now apply to the TAP SERVICES program for $2500. If accepted, NYSCA and PAE will help you identify an appropriate consultant from a faculty of NYSCA trained facilitators based on the work that your partnership wants to explore.  The grant will pay for a one-day retreat and the pre and post analysis necessary.

If your AIE partnership seeks new skills and you have identified a resource that you believe may be useful in the development of those skills, you can apply for a TAP GRANT. You can ask for up to $2000 to cover the expenses associated with the professional exchange or activity.

If there is a conference or specialized training to develop your skills in a particular AIE area, you can apply for a TAP SCHOLARSHIP of up to $1000 to cover expenses related to your attendance at a conference (i.e. travel, registration, food, etc).
