Turn great ideas into community impact.

Our mini grants offer flexible funding to support community engaged activities within Worcester State courses.
Apply Here

Our funding priorities center around engaging community partners as co-educators in our classrooms. We encourage faculty to invite community leaders, practitioners, artists, organizers and professionals to deliver guest lectures, facilitate trainings or workshops, or co-lead projects with faculty and students that enhance both learning outcomes and community impact. 

Projects may vary in scope and format. Examples include students gathering or analyzing data for a partner organization, participating in a day of service, or developing marketing or communications plans for nonprofit organizations. Funding may also support related student travel to community partner sites.

Award Range
  • Average award is $1000
Eligibility
  • For Spring 2026 & Summer I 2026 Courses
  • All full-time and part-time faculty
Timeline
  • Award notifications will be sent to applicants within 2 business days of application submission.
  • The fund closes on Friday, May 15, 2026.
Questions? Have an idea you’re still sketching out? Want to talk it through? Reach out to our Director Megan Moran (mmoran11@worcester.edu)— early conversations are always welcome.
