IDEA Grants - The 2025-2026 applications are due by October 31, 2025.
The Office of Diversity & Inclusion offers grants for innovative and creative projects. IDEA is an acronym for Innovative Diversity Efforts Awards. Grants are funded based on project reach and impact. At least three projects are selected per year. Faculty, staff, students, and organizations across campus are eligible to apply. Grant awards typically range from $500–$1,500. The grants are made possible by the Diversity Endowment. To contribute to this endowment, please contact the Office of Advancement.
Inclusive Excellence Champions Recognition
Campus community members may nominate faculty, staff, students or alum to be recognized for an inclusive excellence related program or project that furthers our commitment to inclusive excellence. Nominations are to be submitted by the 15th of each month. At the conclusion of the academic year, a reception is held to honor all recipients.
