The Engagement Incentives Grants were designed to provide incentives for faculty to become more fully engaged, both across the breadth of our campus and off campus, in teaching, research and outreach.
Targeted Excellence
A working group has been charged with identifying the characteristics of programs in general which, within K-State's mission, obligations to stakeholders, and strengths, would help us reach the goal of becoming a Top 10 Land Grant Institution.
HENCE
The Higher Education Network for Community Engagement (HENCE) is a response to the growing need to deepen, consolidate, and advance the literature, research, practice, policy, and advocacy for community engagement as a core element of higher education's role in society. Increasingly, higher education institutions are intentionally connecting academic work to public purposes through extensive partnerships that involve faculty, staff, and students in active collaboration with communities. This idea of "community engagement" is renewing the civic mission of higher education and transforming academic culture in ways that are both exciting and challenging. HENCE has organized a collection of grants available for "engaged work."
Case Foundation
The Make It Your Own Awards is about giving grants, tools, and recognition to people who are coming together to discuss what matters, form solutions, and take action. Twenty semi-finalists will each receive $10,000 grants to start bringing their ideas to life. Four final grant recipients will then be chosen by the public using an online voting system (!). These finalists will each be awarded an additional $25,000 grant.
My Hometown Helper
Once again, the General Mills company is providing funding for community projects. This is a grant called "My Hometown Helper," sponsored by Hamburger Helper. It funds community projects with broad-based community support ranging in cost from $500 to $15,000.
