The American Sign Language Honor Society has a limited amount of funds available to support projects related to the study of ASL. These funds are available to secondary and post-secondary chapters of the American Sign Language Honor Society. Depending on the applications received, the Honor Society may fund a single project or contribute to multiple projects. Disbursed funds may or may not match the original requested amount.

The goal of the ASL Teacher Mini-Grants is to promote ASL study and awareness on campus or in the local community, and to expose non-ASL students to the language and culture of the Deaf World.

Appropriate uses for the Mini-Grants include:

   - Guest speaker fees
   - ASL Festival / Deaf Awareness Week costs
   - Hosting "It's a Deaf Deaf World"
   - School-wide ASL entertainer or speaker
   - ASL-study supplies and equipment

To apply for funds, complete the ASL Teacher Mini-Grant Application. Applications are accepted to fund specific events or the acquisition of specific material. Click on the links for application examples for an event or for material. Applications for funding are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline.

The application will be reviewed by the ASLHS Advisory Board and decisions made based on the quality of the project, its scope and expected impact.
