Funding for Faculty & Staff

Community-engaged learning funding for faculty and staff comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Take a look at the three funding areas to see what best suits your work.

  1. Grants fund community-engaged learning courses, research and scholarship.
  2. Seeds and supplements help faculty and staff get smaller projects off the ground or add a community-engaged learning component to another grant project.
  3. Awards honor and celebrate faculty with a history of exemplary engagement.
