An approved master’s degree candidate will be reimbursed equal to one-third (1/3) of the total tuition cost upon submission of final course grade (B or higher). The organization and the candidate are responsible for the remaining two-thirds (2/3) of the tuition.
An approved certificate candidate will be reimbursed equal to half (1/2) of the total tuition cost. The remaining cost will be funded by the organization and/or candidate. Reimbursement to the nonprofits that sponsor a certificate track student varies depending on the specific requirements to complete the program. For example, reimbursement may occur after completing a number of courses and/or after completing all course work.
Organizational and professional development opportunities are awarded throughout the year. Following submission of a Letter of Inquiry, FCP may schedule a pre-grant meeting before opening the application. Only complete applications submitted by the deadline will receive consideration. Late and/or incomplete applications will not be considered. Please visit Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia and the Council on Foundations for tips on writing a successful grant proposal.
