Priority will be given to creative, high-impact undergraduate programs. Examples include arts festivals, compelling public speakers, conferences, workshops and community engagement activities. Proposals will be reviewed by a committee comprised of faculty, administrators and students.
In this third and final year of the grant, proposals may be submitted for early notification from April 8 through June 1, with award notifications sent by June 30. A second application period will run from June 2 through Sept. 30, with award notifications on Oct. 14.
Proposals must be for Winter Session 2017 and should be submitted as a single PDF to Laura Gleason, senior business administrator, Office of the Vice President for Student Life, at lgleason@udel.edu.
Proposals must not exceed three typed pages and must include the following:
• description of the program including intended audience, size and location;
• how the project will further student learning and foster a more diverse and stimulating educational and/or social environment during Winter Session;
• estimated budget identifying fees and production costs, including identification of funds and in-kind subsidy from any departments, colleges or student organizations; and
• plans for assessment and evaluation.
Award recipients will be required to submit a one-page summary of the results of the project, including the number of students who participated and a summary of their feedback, as well as a financial report documenting expenses. Templates will be provided.
Funding for these projects is provided through a grant from the Unidel Foundation and was also available for Winter Sessions 2015 and 2016.
