To provide funds for creative new pluralism and unity programming involving students and faculty.
Preference will be given to applications from teams of two individuals representing diverse backgrounds (e.g., an instructor and student, or individuals from different clubs, races, religions or nationalities).
Grant size will depend on the number and quality of applications, but will usually not exceed $400 and cannot be used for stipends to students, faculty or staff. Grant activities can include events, publications, seminars, workshops, performances, art projects, service projects, and retreats that promote ideas inherent in pluralism and unity at Brandeis. Student grant recipients will be asked to consult with a BPA Steering Committee liaison about project planning and implementation after receiving approval of an award. All grant recipients are required to acknowledge Brandeis Pluralism Alliance grant support in all publicity.
Completed online applications will be accepted through Sunday, January 31, 2010.

One person from your project must attend in order to access your funds. Grant recipients will alss be asked to contribute to advertising BPA events, perhaps by creating a project poster for display.
