Small grant applications accepted from current MSW and PhD students to support individual or group student projects for anti-racism work, with a specific focus on confronting anti-Blackness, racism against Indigenous peoples, and confronting racial oppression. The goal is to inclusively support students working within SSW or in communities seeking to confront racism to the greatest degree possible. Such funding could be for projects, programming, or partnerships with external organizations. Grants will be made up to the amount of $1,000. Students must identify an SSW faculty or staff member who will advise on the project. Project funding can be used for student support (financial aid award or hourly pay), to support partnership with outside experts and communities, travel, and event costs (when allowed by the university). Students are eligible for one grant in an academic year. Students who would like to brainstorm potential project ideas are invited to contact FLOURISH at [email protected]
