Funding Request
Funds will be made available to faculty, staff and students of Quinsigamond Community College for the purpose of supporting educational events related to access and opportunity. Proposals for one-time and serial funding will be considered; no award implies a future award or ongoing funding.
Applications may be submitted on behalf of any College entity (e.g., individuals, student organizations, departments or committees including ad-hoc committees).
Past activities have included: guest lecturers, theatrical/dance/musical presentations, forums/seminars/workshops, literary/fine art presentations, films/videos, ethnic/cultural fairs, and receptions. The funds could also be used as part of shared expenses with another college or organization co-sponsoring an event. Funding is not limited to these activities.
