The grant’s objectives are to: assist members of the profession to develop and use their full potential to serve society; provide support for education, study, and scientific research in fields relating to family and consumer sciences; and improve the usefulness and effectiveness of family and consumer sciences in all its aspects. Funding is available for projects that help fulfill these objectives and are in accord with the goals of the Association and the profession.
