C3 Conference Grant Award

The C3 Conference offers educators an opportunity to apply for grants to encourage the effective dissemination of Cyberawareness content that supports the use of technology in teaching and learning. Grants not to exceed $700 will be awarded through a competitive grant process. Grant funding must be used to promote empowering students to become ethical, responsible, and resilient cybercitizens who are comfortable navigating the digital world. Grants may include “stand alone” activities (i.e., PTA or faculty presentations) but must include the integration of C3 content into existing curriculum. Emphasis should be added to integrate all three Cyberethics-safety and security topics.
