Office for Sustainability Education Undergraduate Studies

Faculty can apply for grants to integrate sustainability into their courses or renew a Sustainability Course Attribute (SUST). Awards amounts generally range from $1,000 to $2,500 per year, but all funding requests are considered. These funds can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

• Hiring graduate assistants (GAs) or teaching assistants (TAs) to assist with developing course content (e.g., finding readings, creating assignments, NOT grading or general assistance).
• Purchasing course materials such as project-specific supplies, renting space or covering event expenses.
• Faculty professional development funds for workshop attendance and/or travel that directly support(s) the faculty member's advancement in knowledge of sustainability education.
