With this goal in mind, the 91²Ö¿â Foundation is pleased to offer a systemwide grant program to all departments, schools, colleges, institutes and centers. The Foundation Board has approved a budget of $100,000 in grant funds to be awarded during the 2018 fiscal year.
There are no restrictions on these awards, and requests may be up to $100,000. Grants will be made to projects that have an impact on the quality of education offered to the students at all 91²Ö¿â campuses.
The Foundation Grant Program has supported many worthwhile endeavors in the past. Last year, grants supported the supply of robust devices for aerospace laboratory instruction, construction of a greenhouse at 91²Ö¿â at Stark, purchase of equipment for livestreaming all performance events for the School of Music and funds to the Student Multicultural Center for scholarships supporting the Kupita/Transiciones Mentoring Program.

It is possible the Foundation Board will request that programs receiving a grant match a portion of the funds awarded.
