Tutoring & Mentoring Initiative

Chapter Funding Grant Proposal 2005-2006

The Achiever’s Plus Tutoring Initiative has been developed to provide monetary support of on-campus tutoring services to 15 NSBE chapters within each region. Tutors should assist with core freshman curriculum courses and are identified by the Chapter Academic Excellence Chair (collaboration with the NSBE chapter advisor and the director of the university’s Minority Engineering Program office is suggested). Tutors will be paid for there services through a $500 NSBE grant awarded to the chapter to be used over the course of the 2004-2005 academic year. Tutors are paid $10 per hour, allowing each chapter to implement a suggested 10 weeks of tutoring at 5 hours of tutoring per week. These numbers are based upon the following Board of Corporate Affiliates (BCA) allocations to each region:

$7500 per region
15 chapters @ $500 each for 10 weeks
10 weeks @ $50 per week
5 hours per week @ $10 per hour

Deviations to the suggested 5 hours per week (i.e. extra hours before final exams) are allowed, but the $10 per hour rate must be maintained and the overall costs per tutor must not exceed $500.

To qualify to receive any portion of the Achiever’s Plus Tutoring grant, a tutor must have achieved a minimum grade of “B” in the course in which they are tutoring. Individual transcripts of each tutor must be attached to the grant proposal indicating the tutors have each received the minimum grade requirement.
