What is an AEN Microgrant?AEN members can apply for and receive grants of up to $3,000 to support campus programming or research related to AEN's mission, or opportunities to field panels, workshops, or other modes of engagement about AEN’s issues at academic professional associations and scholarly societies.
In 25-26, the AEN Leadership Team will prioritize applications that focus on:
- Antisemitism and/or anti-Zionism in the post Oct 7 landscape
- The current situation in Israel and the broader region
- Israeli history, society, and culture
- Efforts to counter the delegitimization of Jewish and Zionist voices in the academy (campus, professional associations, etc.)
- Campus free speech and academic freedom
Grants must be received and administered through a department or other office at members' institutions. Grant recipients are required to provide a detailed grant report upon completion of the grant project or initiative.
AEN will review applications on a rolling basis.
