Service-Learning Grants
Request for Proposals

Faculty teaching service-learning courses (including civic engagement, community-based research, etc.) may apply for mini-grants to pay expenses related to the service component(s) of the course (travel, supplies, lodging, student food, etc.). Grants of $500 to $1500 are available.

These funds are provided to support experiential learning. Service activities that do not foster critical thinking as a primary goal are NOT eligible for funding. There is no application form, but a written proposal (no more than 3 pages) is required.

For further information, contact Dr. Dan Kittle.
