Project Pericles invites faculty and staff to apply for a Civic Engagement Mini-Grants empowering students to engage with public issues in inclusive and collaborative ways in order to foster more positive and broader civic participation. Fellows receive a $1,000 grant to design and implement projects, assignments and/or activities and are required to share this work with others through submitting a brief guide outlining the resources utilized, the activities conducted, and report on outcomes achieved. The program is supported by the Mellon Foundation and the Eugene M. Lang Foundation.
Prospective applicants will draw upon and build upon existing Civic Engagement Resources and/or develop and test out course materials in their own classrooms that can be shared with a broader base of faculty through Project Pericles’ Civic Engagement Resource Database.
Please see the Request for Proposals document for more information.
