Applying for a Grant

Applications for Mentoring Grants for 2013-2014 are now available. The due date is March 4, 2013. 

Eligibility

Full-time faculty members are eligible.

Criteria

Particular attention will be given to proposals that address a mentoring need that cannot be fully satisfied on campus. The selection committee is particularly interested in grant proposals that meet following criteria:

  • Impact: How does the project address an unmet mentoring need?
  • Feasibility: How does the project’s scope and budget reflect realistic, practical, and fiscally responsible mentoring outcomes?
  • Inclusion: How does the project bring faculty together in a way that respects, promotes, and encourages diversity?
  • Replication: How can the project serve as a model to be replicated at The New School?

Please note: Grants cannot be used to fund pre-existing programs or regular departmental/divisional activities.
