An opportunity remains for Sewanee faculty and staff to apply for Associated Colleges of the South (ACS) grant funding in 2020. The ACS grant program, supported with funding from the Mellon Foundation, is intended to “…advance the professional growth of faculty and staff, foster diversity and inclusion, build partnerships among the 16 member campuses, and improve collective student and institutional success” (http://colleges.org/grants/priorities/). The ACS has Planning Grants available, which are intended to be used to form collaborative partnerships by supporting face-to-face meetings. Proposed projects should fit into one of these three grant program themes: collaborative curriculum, diversity and inclusion, and innovative instruction. Pre-proposal submission is required in order to submit a full proposal. Deadline dates are as follows: March 2, 2020 for completing the Institutional Approval Form (internal to Sewanee); March 20 for submitting pre-proposals to the ACS; and May 29 for submitting final proposals to the ACS. For additional information, including award amounts for each theme, see http://colleges.org/grants/ or contact Pollyanne Frantz.
