Professional Development Grant Program

The Council for Non-represented Classified Staff is pleased to announce the continuation of a program that was authorized by the Vice Chancellor for Administration and is sponsored by CNCS and administered by UW-Madison Classified Human Resources. This program, the Professional Development Grant Program for Non-represented Classified Staff, provides funding to all permanent non-represented classified staff that hold at least a 50% non-represented classified staff appointment.

This is a matching program and half of the funding for the grant comes from the staff member's department. The objectives of this grant program are:

1) improved institutional effectiveness,

2) improved program quality, and

3) individual professional development. The primary focus of these grants is on training and/or retraining to improve the effectiveness of the non-represented classified staff members.
