About IAH Student Mini-Grants

Grant funding is available to support student-led projects and interdisciplinary collaborations that engage the community and/or capitalize on the area’s unique, cultural resources. Students interested in this opportunity are encouraged to apply to receive funds (of up to $1000) for innovative projects, activities, or program initiatives that strategically address notions of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA). Those whose projects are selected will be expected to document and present the outcomes of their project. Examples of fundable projects are listed below:

Both individual and group applications are accepted. Groups are two or more students (with the possible addition of MCLA faculty/staff or community members) working together on the same project. These grants are competitive in nature; submission does not guarantee grant funding. Applications will be reviewed by the Institute’s faculty advisory committee, and students will be informed of the committee’s decision within two weeks of submission. Students who are accepted into the spring 2021 IAH Mini-Grant program will also be invited to engage in the IAH Student Advisory Board (IAH-SAB).

Application Deadline for Spring 2022

Rolling Deadline: January 28th, 2022 - March 18th, 2022.
All accepted mini-grant projects must be completed by the end of the spring semester.
