Spring 2021 Engaged Opportunity Grant

Please note that Chrome and Safari are the recommended browsers for completing this application.

Cornell faculty and staff are always thinking of ways to create, enhance or sustain community-engaged learning opportunities for undergraduates, but they might not have the funds to support their ideas. Engaged Opportunity Grants are designed to help by supporting large and small projects from across the university. 


For more information, see the Engaged Opportunity Grant (right click to open in new tab) page on the OEI website.


To preview the entire form, select the primary purpose of your application. Remaining fields will be exposed upon selection.

*Note: Engaged College Initiative Eligibility

In fall 2020, OEI launched an engaged college initiative, which includes college block grants. Faculty and staff from the colleges listed below should contact the community-engaged learning coordinators to learn about college-specific opportunities and when they’ll be available. Of course, they are still invited to collaborate with OEI and participate in OEI programs.
  • Kristen Elmore, College of Human Ecology
  • Candace Maxian, SC Johnson College of Business
  • Victoria Beard, College of Architecture, Art, and Planning

If you are from a college listed above and are co-leading a cross-college project, email Dhyana Gonzalez to discuss your application.
