Diversity Grants, Deadline 3/11/2013

The Meredith College Diversity Council announces the opportunity for faculty, students, and staff to apply for grants that help celebrate the diversity of the campus. Consistent with Meredith’s Strategic Plan, grants may be in the form of research, programs, or other ways to ensure that Meredith is a welcoming environment for all members of our community. The Meredith College Diversity Council is committed to creating and improving opportunities to make our campus a more welcoming environment.

Grants will typically be in the range of $500-$1,500, and an application for the funds must be received by Monday, March 11, 2013. The application for the Diversity Project Grant Program is available at http://www.meredith.edu/diversity/synopsis.htm - Grant Application and Outcomes Report - Diversity Grant March 2013 . The Diversity Council will review the grant proposals and announce recipients by mid-April. Projects can be for this spring, this summer, or for next fall.
