I received
the following email from Executive Director Robert
Jesselson regarding National String Project
Consortium Grants.

Dear ASTA State President:
I would like to alert you and your state ASTA members to the next round of NSPC grants for new String Project sites. The deadline for grant applications will be November 17, 2008. Please go to our website at http://www.stringprojects.org/ for more information and for the application form.
The NSPC now consists of 32 String Projects at universities around the country. These programs help to train string teachers by giving undergraduate students hands-on teaching experience during their college years. The NSPC provides $10,000 for the first year, and up to $25,000 over five years to help set up these String Projects. One of our goals is to have at least one such program in every state; so if your state does not yet have one, please encourage your colleges to consider this opportunity.
If you have any questions, please do contact me.
Best wishes for a good school year!
Bob Jesselson
