The CEIA project grant is intended to provide funding to an evaluation, information gathering and/or assessment project in regard to the field of work-integrated learning. The project funds are targeted toward the use of undergraduate students who will assist with the gathering of data (an ethics review would be necessary) or the assessment of a WIL (Work Integrated Learning) program, and/or the pilot testing of a new WIL initiative. Up to $4000 may be awarded bi-annually to an accredited post-secondary department or faculty with 65 – 75% of the project funds to be used to pay undergraduate student researchers, and 25 – 35% available for administrative costs including the purchase or use of required software to carry out the project. CEIA expects the grant recipients to publicly share the results of their project outcomes in relation to general practice within the field and CEIA reserves the right to use and disseminate the information through their networks and membership. CEIA must be acknowledged as a project funder on all disseminated documents.
The objective of the project grant is to fund new initiatives or assessment projects that will contribute to knowledge of WIL, have implications for practice beyond the program in which the project is conducted, and support undergraduate research and training.
CEIA recognizes distinguished achievement and excellence by annually recognizing outstanding students who have excelled in or made significant impact in work-integrated learning between September 1st of the previous year and August 31st of the nominating year.
The selected Student Achievement Award winners receive a plaque and $500.00 presented at the Awards Banquet during the annual CEIA conference. CEIA recognizes outstanding students in four categories, including:
In 2011, CEIA created an initiative to establish a fund to assist student award recipients with travel expenses to attend the annual conference banquet so they could be recognized for their accomplishments. The initial appeal was made to our Honorary Lifetime Members and the CEIA Board of Directors, with seven donors helping establish the fund.
