grant program
Deadline for Faculty Grant Proposals: September 21, 2007
Each semester, our program presents opportunities to enrich our campus curriculum and learning environment by soliciting requests for World Cultures Grant funding. World Cultures Grants offer members of our college community an opportunity to propose events which are of special interest to them, or to their students. Additionally, grant funds can also be used to purchase books, VHS/DVDs and other educational materials that promote a greater understanding and appreciation of diverse ethnic, gender, and multi-cultural issues. Once approved and purchased, these resources are made available to the faculty and the general student body through our Multicultural Resource Center.

All grant proposals must meet the criteria stated in the proposal packet.
Each proposal is evaluated by the World Cultures Committee, a standing body of faculty and staff who meet once each semester for this purpose. Grants are awarded based upon their merits and the amount of funding available.
Speakers, multi-media presentations, exhibits, concerts, debates and dramatic performances are but a few examples of the special events that have been supported by grant funds. In addition, these grants are used to purchase books, videotapes and other educational materials that promote a greater understanding and appreciation of ethnic, gender, and multi-cultural issues. These resources are made available to the faculty and the general student body, in an effort to diversity and enrich the campus curriculum.
