FIPSE (Fund Improvement Post Secondary Education) is
offering a LAAP (Learning Anytime Anywhere Partnership) grant. Virginia McBride

Virginia suggested the committee see the web site for the grant priorities at http://www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/FIPSE/LAAP/FY2001/invite.html
. If the EDC decides it is interested in this grant, Virginia said a single or multiple
priority needs to be selected, and the group should decide what aspects of quality to
focus on. She stated that this is a three-year project, and the deadline is March 15.
