Ric Martini Student Engagement Grant

Background: In 2024, HAPS received a sizable donation of $100,000 from Ric Martini. This generous donation established the Ric Martini Endowed Fund. These funds are to be used to support programs or projects designed to enhance the engagement and performance of students enrolled in introductory anatomy & physiology courses (one- or two-semester).

The Ric Martini Student Engagement Grant consists of up to $750 to support an educational opportunity for introductory Anatomy & Physiology students (high school or community college). These funds should be used for a full class and not just a select group of students. Examples of activities that could be funded (but not are limited to) are field trips and enrichment activities that provide additional exposure to those students in their first interaction with A&P. After using the funds, awardees will be asked to provide a brief description of the activity that may be used on HAPS communications such as social media, the newsletter, website, or the HAPS blog.

Applications are OPEN for the Ric Martini Student Engagement Grant!

Bring Anatomy & Physiology to life for your students and apply for up to $750 to fund hands-on learning experiences for your entire class. Whether it’s a field trip or an engaging enrichment activity, this grant is designed to create meaningful first exposures to A&P for high school and community college students.

There are a maximum of four awards available. Of those one grants will be provided to a high school teacher and the remaining three are allocated to community college instructors.

Deadline to apply is June 5th!
