Call for Applications: Human Rights and the Arts Student-Led Initiative Microgrants
Deadline Expired on November 19, 2021
The OSUN Center for Human Rights & the Arts at Bard College invites applications for microgrants to students pursuing campus- and community-based initiatives in human rights and the arts. The goal of this grant program is to support students at OSUN institutions who seek to create or extend projects in human rights and social justice, particularly those with an artistic dimension, that are based in the institution or the community (or beyond).
Eligibility
Any currently-enrolled undergraduate or graduate student in any of the partner institutions of OSUN is eligible to apply.
Projects that are incorporated into class curriculum or involve all of the students in a particular class are eligible for support.
Projects that strengthen connections across OSUN institutions are encouraged but not required.
Grants Details
Deadline for applications is
November 19, 2021
.
Applicants will be notified of selection committee decisions by
December 15, 2021

Successful applicants for the Spring-Summer 2022 cycle will receive a stipend of up to $1,000. These funds can be used to cover relevant purchases and other expenses in pursuit of a student-led initiative. All expenses must be pre-approved through the application process (or subsequently amended) and executed between
January 30 and August 30, 2022
.
Awards to projects with high material expenses will be issued as a form of advanced payment to cover the project expenses. Awards to projects with little or no material expenses will be issued as a stipend.
