Community-Based Learning Curricular Development Grant

Faculty curriculum development grants to support the integration of community-based learning components into existing courses and other academic community work. 

With thoughtful course development, your students will learn about social issues and the value of community involvement while practicing skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, working with others, and planning and implementation.

Award Amount: Grants range up to $3,500 and can support a faculty member’s time developing a course (up to $1,500), costs associated with community-based course projects, a student working with a faculty member on a community-based summer project, a speaker that focuses on social change work, or professional development opportunities. Faculty then work with the Center for Civic Engagement staff to identify community partners and projects.
