Call for Proposals for Student Success Grants
As part of the realignment of funds from diversity initiatives, the Chancellor has agreed to invest in student success pilot projects and provide faculty/staff opportunities to explore innovative initiatives that support increases in retention and graduation rates. The Student Success Grants aim to fund initiatives that present clearly defined and measurable outcomes that are aligned with increasing retention and graduation rates. Proposals must demonstrate how the pilot project will contribute to improving student success metrics for all students or specific sub-populations of students and outline a comprehensive plan with specific strategies, milestones, and deliverables that will lead to positive and lasting outcomes. Four grants in the amount of $15,000 each will be awarded to collaborative teams of faculty and/or staff whose projects are selected. We encourage interested teams to submit proposals by 5:00 p.m. on November 1. More information regarding proposal requirements and submission details can be found on the Office of Undergraduate Education website.
