Proposal Process
Applications for a grant may be submitted by faculty, administration, staff, and students. Completed proposals should be routed electronically through individual supervisors to appropriate cabinet member for consideration. Cabinet members will submit recommended requests electronically to the president for review. Generally, projects will only be funded for
one year and will not incur a continuing obligation for support—such as
salaries/wages. Submitted requests for the
Annual Trustees' Opportunity Fund should be simply stated and should be short in length. Typically, grants are made in the $1,000–$5,000 range. The request must include
the following:
- Title
- Purpose: A description
of the activity.
- Rationale and Impact (in terms of strategic plan): Explanation
of how the project advances one or more of the four institutional priorities and
ultimately, the mission of the university.
- Amount Requested/Budget: The amount requested and total budget
for the proposed project.
There are no specific deadlines. Grants are made on
a rolling basis contingent
upon funding available.
