Opportunity Grants
Proposal Overview
The purpose of this program is to provide support to undergraduate students for pursuit of unusual, and unusually pertinent, opportunities that arise. These opportunities need not be part of a student's curricular program but should be academically respectable. A non-exclusive list of examples of activities that could receive support are professional conference attendance, attendance at art or theater exhibitions, the cost of special-focus coursework, and acquisition of an academic resource. Support can be given up to $1,500.
Proposal Process
The application process consists of filling out an application cover and budget form (download) and preparing a brief description (not to exceed one page) of the proposed activity. These should be submitted electronically to Susan Buttrick (buttrick@reed.edu). You also must arrange to have a faculty member submit a note of support for your proposed activity.
Proposals will be accepted at all times on a funds-available, rolling basis. There are two deadlines for assured consideration:
Fall deadline: October 16, 2008
Spring deadline: March 12, 2009
Only proposals from students currently enrolled and in good standing at the College can be considered.
