Pathways Enrichment Grants
Enrichment Grant Program for Faculty
Go directly to Forms Access.
Enrichment grants are available through funding established as a part of the U.S. Department of Education Title III grant, Pathways to Students’ Success: Integrating Academic Support Services for Maximum Student Benefit. The Pathways Enrichment Grant Program for faculty will fund initiatives to develop new enrichment activities for CUS students (research opportunities, internships, externships, service learning, and honors programming, etc.). In addition students participating in activities may request support to present projects at regional and national conferences. Pathways enrichment grants also aim to help students explore possible careers and relate them to their academic experience. A total of $18,000 is available for the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013.
The Pathways to Success (P2S) Enrichment Grant funds are available for projects which support enrichment experiences for CUS students and which directly impact retention through greater engagement of students with the educational experience at IU . Any full-time faculty member may apply.
There are some restrictions:
⋆ The project must involve or impact CUS students, provide new opportunities, and be consistent with the goals of the P2S grant.
⋆ Projects which support enrichment through internships, service learning, honors activities or planning grants to develop such activities will be prioritized.
⋆ Consideration will be given for projects which have an impact on broader audiences of CUS students or have sustainable aspects for the University.
⋆ Satisfaction of standard course requirements is not eligible, nor are stipends for students.
⋆ Non-fundable types of expenses include: food, normal office supplies, copying, furnishings, contracts with third party vendors.
⋆ Expenses related to international travel are not fundable.

Funds may be used for a number of purposes including:
