CBL Faculty Initiatives Fund
The Office of Community-Based Learning is now accepting applications for the Faculty Initiatives Fund. This provides an opportunity for University of Scranton faculty to request funding for costs related to Community-Based Learning (CBL) courses and/or academic-related community initiatives, including but not necessarily limited to CBL course-related materials, refreshments, transportation and/or CBL-related conference travel, and registration fees. Each faculty member can submit up to two applications for combined awards of up to $500 total per academic year. She or he must use the funds within the calendar year in which they are granted. Funding will be dispersed on a reimbursement basis.
Applications for the funding period starting in Spring 2019 will be due by November 2, 2018. The application may be submitted as a scanned copy with signatures to sharon.olechna@scranton.edu or as a hard copy to Sharon Olechna, Community-Based Learning Office Assistant, O’Hara Hall, 4th floor. Please Note: this is a one-time summer application for the Office’s first year; upcoming deadlines will be: Nov. 2018 and April 2019.
