Faculty Grants from ICC

Scholarship of Engagement

These grants fund the integration of one of the following: service-learning into existing or new courses; community based research; or professional service activities that engage faculty and students with the community in a reciprocal campus/community partnership.

Faculty Fellows - Deadline extended to April 30th!

This program is a unique opportunity for full-time faculty to integrate service engagement into all aspects of their professional lives – teaching, research, and service. Funds support the teaching of a service-learning course and a professional service with a community agency. In addition, selected faculty will work with other selected Fellows as a team to design a group project..

Listening to Communities

Four campuses will be selected to hold a campus and community dialogue to develop implementation strategies for an engaged campus and community. Recipients will be encouraged to form a post-meeting Advisory Board consisting of campus representatives and community representatives to address the follow-up needed from the findings.

Sponsored Research for Service Engagement

Four research projects per year will be sponsored to conduct research examining the impact of service engagement and campus/community partnerships. ICC will set the parameters on what should be researched. Examples of research could include: impact of service engagement on student retention to the state post-graduation; impact of service engagement on capacity building for non-profits; impact of service engagement on workforce development.

Alternative Break Institutional Program

This award will provide two selected campuses per year with the opportunity to partner with ICC to showcase their community and campus through an Indiana-based Alternative Break program for students from other ICC campuses. Funds would support either a May break or Winter break through the selected campus.
