Mini-Grant Program

 

---

The Summer Programs & Events Council (SPEC) Start-up Mini-Grant Program will fund deserving proposals for:

• The expansion of existing credit or non-credit summer courses/programs
• The redesign of existing credit or non-credit summer courses/programs
• Or the development of new credit or non-credit summer courses/programs.

Through the mini-grant program, SPEC wants to create positive learning experiences for the citizens of the Red River Valley Region and beyond by extending the resources of the university. The mini-grant funds will help cover the development, marketing and start-up costs for programs and courses held at UND during the summer months. Examples include camps for kids, academic classes that can be completed in the summer months, or any special event designed for the community. Quality, creativity and “out of the box” ideas are encouraged when developing new programs.

All interested UND faculty and staff are encouraged to submit proposals.

Application Deadline:
Monday, November 21, 2011, 4:30 p.m.
