This work was designed to determine if the program is driving the types of changes in practice it was designed to support. We administered a survey that included yes/no response and Likert-scale questions to assess supports provided, outcomes, challenges, and impact of the grants program; and a series of open-ended questions inviting participants to share qualitative narratives describing their perceptions ofthe program and its effects. Thematic analysis of the survey responses revealed that the grants program provides tremendous value in strengthening scholarly communities and fosters wide ranging benefits to learners and teachers through ripple effects that extend well beyond the stated goals of the program. The engagement of students as partners in scholarly work and the development of local cultures and conversations around the scholarship of teaching and learning generated exciting new opportunities. The program supported innovative teaching strategies and deep engagement in teaching and learning, and provided opportunities for presentation, publication, and support from national funding bodies. It is clear that our institutional teaching and learning grants program is key to fostering a scholarly environment on our campus that benefits the entire community.  \nNous décrivons une évaluation de programme détaillée pour un programme de boursesd'enseignement et d'apprentissage à l'échelle de l'université dans une université canadienne à forteintensité de recherche. Ce travail a été conçu pour déterminer si le programme entraîne les types de changements dans la pratique qu'il a été conçu pour soutenir. Nous avons administré un sondagecomprenant des réponses oui/non et des questions sur l'échelle de Likert pour évaluer les soutiens fournis, les résultats, les défis et l'impact du programme de subventions ; et une série de questions ouvertes invitant les participants à partager des récits qualitatifs décrivant leurs perceptions du programme et de ses effets. L'analyse thématique des réponses à l'enquête a révélé que le programme de bourses apporte une valeur considérable dans le renforcement des communautés savantes et favorise une large gamme d'avantages pour les apprenants et les enseignants grâce à des effetsd'entraînement qui vont bien au-delà des objectifs déclarés du programme.
