  • SADDI Grant applications now open

    The SADDI Grant was created to streamline funding through 海角乱伦社区鈥檚 Road Map strategic plan. This process allows divisional offices to compete for funds that assist with student-focused programming that promotes social justice and/or celebrates diversity.

    Some guidelines for the program include:

    - Grant funding seeks to aid in retention initiatives for underrepresented minority students.
    - Due to limited funds, SADDI grants are not intended to sustain programming but instead are "seed" funds that help launch diversity initiatives.
    - Departments are encouraged to collaborate on projects and programs with each other.
    - Student organizations must partner or be sponsored by a department of mutual interest for eligibility.
    - Creative, innovative and technological ideas are welcomed!
