Collaborative grants are grants that in some way involve and benefit both the School District of La Crosse (SDLX) and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UW-L). UW-L faculty/staff and SDLX teachers and administrators work together to plan projects that in some way address the needs of students, teachers, faculty/staff, or some combination thereof. Examples of collaborative projects that have been funded in the past include:

• University pre-service teachers (undergraduate students majoring in education) as K-12 classroom interns
• UW-L faculty providing in-service workshops and professional development for teachers, and vice versa
• Both UW-L and SDLX receiving needed resources, equipment or supplies
• SDLX serving as a source of university research that will improve education (e.g., teacher surveys)
• Inter-level student mentoring, such as university students serving as tutors and mentors for after-school programs
• Early student and/or teacher recruitment

Amery Bodelson is the grant writer/development specialist for UW-L and SDLX. She works with faculty and staff, teachers, and administrators with all aspects of proposal development. If you have an idea for a collaborative grant project, please contact Amery at (608) 785-8050 or bodelson.amer@uwlax.edu.
