About
The 2026-27 application cycle for the American Cultures Course Development Grants is now open.
The American Cultures Course Development Grants awards up to $1,500 to enhance an existing American Cultures course or the design of a new course that has not been offered previously. Funding can be requested in three categories:
- Supplies and expenses, which might include photocopying and printing, books and supplies
- Student hourly help to assist with, for example, digitizing materials (e.g., slides, maps, manuscripts, photographs), bibliographical and syllabi searches, or assignment-related research.
- General course enhancement includes assessment tool creation, social media assignment development, guest speaker honorarium, field site visits, transportation costs, and student project support.
Please note: funds from the 2026-27 AC Course Development Grants will be disbursed after July 1, 2026 and must be fully utilized by June 15, 2027. If you have any questions or concerns, please email americancultures@berkeley.edu.
