CTE Teacher Grant Application | Foundation for Applied Technical Education, Inc. As a non-profit organization, Foundation for Applied Technical Education, Inc. (FATE) is committed to improving student achievement and experiences for the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in Fairfax County Public Schools.
CTE Program Enhancement Grants are sponsored to help educators identify challenges and develop solutions to eliminate those. Any CTE program teacher of Fairfax County Public Schools is eligible to apply for funding from FATE. Collaboration is encouraged, although applicants may apply individually or as team members.
Individual classrooms, an entire school, a region, a group of schools, or even the school division may benefit from proposed projects. In future years, applications for continuation of current grants will be considered, once the current grant has expired, and the final grant report has been submitted and accepted. The FATE CTE Program Enhancement Grant program is designed to support the broader development of the CTE agenda.
Elements of school improvement are incorporated for successful applications and designed to directly impact student productivity. FATE is interested in funding innovative projects and ideas that are cross-curricular, learner-centered, and achieve outcomes effectively and imaginatively.
FATE recognizes that many strategies may be employed to accomplish the goal of closing the achievement gap, ranging from family involvement and staff development to student learning and school-to-business/community partnerships. Preference will be given to program enhancements that maximize the financial reach of the CTE Program Enhancement Grant Program.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
