Recent Funding Opportunities

This is a very short, unrepresentative list of funding opportunities. It only reflects those hard copy RFPs that have been received by my office in the last month or so. A more comprehensive list of current funding opportunities can be found on the IU Granstlink. You can also search for funding opportunities using keywords from COS.

 Lumina Foundation for Education: Our work must be focused to be effective. Therefore, we will concentrate its national funding efforts in three theme areas:
  • Addressing the issue of financial access to postsecondary education.
  • Supporting efforts that help postsecondary students identify appropriate options and remain in school to attain their educational objectives.
  • Understanding and addressing the challenges faced by nontraditional students, including adult students, first-generation college goers and under-served groups of students.
