Application Procedures and Process
Conducting scholarship that is mutually beneficial for both university scholars and communities is the very foundation of engaged scholarship. Through the Engaged Scholarship Research/Creative Activities Grants Program, the Engagement Scholarship Consortium is providing financial support that helps facilitate positive outcomes for both scholars and communities.
