The Community Engaged Learning Faculty Development Mini Grant is intended to support the integration of service experiences with the curricular objectives of existing and new course offerings.  The grant in the amount of $1,000.00 is intended to help faculty develop new and expand existing community engaged initiatives for the upcoming academic year.  Individual class initiatives/projects are encouraged. However, preference will be given to proposals that develop sustainable, long-term CEL projects which last at least one year, and can originate within a department, a college or across colleges within the University. 

Eligibility 

Full-time faculty, part-time faculty and professional teaching staff are eligible to apply for this grant.  Applicants can be individuals or collaborations.  Faculty may only apply for one mini-grant per academic year. 

Application process 

Applications will become available in the spring semester. The application deadline is typically the end of April and awards are distributed by July 1st. 

Criteria for Mini-Grant Proposal 

  • Explanation of how the CEL experience will relate to the academic content of the course.  Service activities must be appropriate to class content and the faculty member’s discipline.
  • Details of the service project, which demonstrate learning and the fulfillment of course objectives through relevant academic activity.
  • Description of how the project contributes to developing student insight and concern for societal needs as articulated in the St. John’s University Mission Statement and Core Values.
  • Evidence of the reciprocal relationship of the University (including faculty and students) and the community partner.    
  • Description of the process that the faculty member and community partner followed to develop the CEL project, identify mini-grant funding needs, and plan to promote student learning and benefits to the community partner.    
  • A letter of support and signed agreement by community partner.
