We will continue to accept and review submissions on a rolling basis for projects up to $1,000. Proposals for projects over $1,000 are due November 1st, 2021 (fall) and March 15th, 2022 (spring).
If you are not a graduate student or faculty/staff member of UMBC, please contact David Demarest at davidd4@umbc.edu to begin the process of finding a UMBC partner, who will assist with your project and submit the proposal. While you require a UMBC partner to apply for funds, we welcome the initiative of off-campus entities (e.g. BCPSS Title I K-8 schools themselves, local arts organizations that serve these populations) to generate plans and ideas.
