Some Organizations That Offer Funding
Alliance to Advance Liberal Arts Colleges (AALAC)
American Philosophical Society’s Franklin Research Grant program provides up to $6,000 of funding for the costs of archival work or field research in almost any field. Deadlines October 1 and December 1, each year. Short application!
Associated Colleges of the South (ACS)
Project Pericles regularly offers grants in the range of $1,000 to $4,000 for curricular development.
About deadlines: It is the policy of Rhodes College to submit grant applications and required reports 24 to 72 hours ahead of published deadlines. This allows time for the Director of Grants and Foundations to address any technical glitches that may occur; manage multiple submissions; avoid submissions on weekends, holidays or scheduled vacations; and maintain the college’s reputation for excellence. We will not submit grant applications that are incomplete, last-minute, or lacking the required prior review and institutional approvals.
