Course Development Grants

About

The 2025-26 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:

  1. Supplies and expenses, which might include photocopying and printing, books and supplies
  2. Student hourly help to assist with, for example, digitizing materials (e.g., slides, maps, manuscripts, photographs), bibliographical and syllabi searches, or assignment-related research.
  3. General course enhancement includes assessment tool creation, social media assignment development, guest speaker honorarium, field site visits, transportation costs, and student project support.
