The Campus Grants Program provides internal funding to support new initiatives that enhance the college experience for students, faculty, and staff.

Over the past seven years, nearly four hundred thousand dollars has been awarded through this program. Proposals are reviewed by Foundation board members to ensure alignment with institutional priorities and student benefit.

Campus Grants may be used to:

  • Enhance student services
  • Improve classroom technology
  • Support instructional innovation
  • Launch new programs or initiatives

This funding option is especially appropriate for projects that were not included in the regular college budget.

Campus Grant application announcements are distributed via campus email.
