Project Pericles invites faculty and staff to apply for a $1,000 Civic Engagement Mini-Grant to design innovative projects, assignments, and activities empowering students to engage with public issues in inclusive and collaborative ways.
Why Apply? These grants are an incredible opportunity to strengthen civic participation while connecting academic content to real-world challenges. Grantees become part of the Project Pericles fellowship, a community of civically-engaged colleagues learning and growing together.
Grant Tracks:
- Beyond Media Literacy: Enhancing Information Ecosystems to Bridge Divides: Help students analyze and navigate polarized information ecosystems.
- Deliberative Dialogue: Foster meaningful discussions linking academic content to real-world issues.
- Voting Rights Expansion: Equip students with tools to understand and advocate for voter engagement and rights.
The priority deadline is February 14, after which applications will be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis, so applying early is recommended.
