Small Grants
Funds for instruction, research and public service projects are available for July 1, 2014–June 30, 2015, through a Foundation Small Grant.
Any member of the university community may apply for a small grant for a wide variety of projects. Grant information, application forms and a list of awards for the 2013 -14 year are available online at www.uwlax.edu/grants/funding_sources/UWF_FSG.htm. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 28.
The Small Grants Program is made possible through donations to the Foundation’s unrestricted fund mainly by alumni, local businesses, matching gifts from companies and other friends of the university. A committee of Foundation representatives and university faculty and academic staff review the applications and make funding recommendations to the Foundation.
