Strategic Initiative Development (SID) Grant
The Strategic Initiative Development (SID) committee has been created to support proposals that further the mission of the Association for Moral Education (AME) “to foster dialogues, training, resources, and research that links moral theory with practice” and “to support self-reflective educational and other practices that value the worth and dignity of each individual as a moral agent in a pluralistic society.” The AME is committed to fostering a climate of full inclusion, diversity, interdisciplinarity, and internationalism. Each accepted project will receive funding to carry out their work, based on budgetary review.

The maximum award amount will be $1,000. Recipients will be expected to submit receipts for travel and lodging expenses in order to receive reimbursement after the conference. Grant awards will be distributed on the basis of need. The proposal submission form will include an option to apply for a travel grant and submit a preliminary budget of travel, lodging, and other expenses.

JME/AME Reduced Membership Rate Grants
JME/AME Reduced Membership Rate Grants were initiated by JME to make the journal available for those for whom paying the AME membership fee is a hardship. AME also similarly reduces their rate, making AME membership (which includes the journal) available at the price of $20, primarily subsidized by JME. Students registered for full-time work toward graduate degrees, unemployed individuals, untenured faculty in developing countries, and retired individuals are eligible to apply. Applicants must document their hardship by submitting an application on the conference registration website. The reduced rate includes a one-year subscription to the journal (JME)—print for faculty, online for students—and can be awarded yearly for a maximum of three years. Note: Reduced membership rate grants are not available for those requesting a travel grant.
