Diversity Enhancement Grant

Instructions for Applicants

Open to Individuals (Students, Staff and Faculty), Campus Organizations and Programs 

By its nature, a university reflects unity within diversity. The purpose of the Campus Diversity Committee is to promote diversity as a strength, as a core element in academic excellence, and as a reflection of a caring Christian community. The Campus Diversity Committee, with the support of the Office of the President, seeks to ensure an academic environment that welcomes, recognizes, respects and celebrates the personal heritage of all campus constituents. The Committee should emphasize efforts to strengthen community at Baylor. 

Individuals (students, staff and faculty), organizations and programs are invited to submit grant proposals that would strengthen and promote respect for diversity through innovative leadership and service, or policies, practices, events and programs designed to enhance a climate of understanding and respect throughout the campus community. 

Eight grants will be awarded throughout the academic year for the amount of $1000.  Four grant recipients within the fall semester, and 4 in the spring semester. Individuals and organizations are limited to receiving one grant per semester. Grants will be distributed after the diversity committee receives a summary report for proposed event.
