We encourage you to apply online.
You will first be prompted to establish an account so that we can track your application data. Type in your email address and make-up your own password.

This feature will allow you to “hold” your application to complete later, without losing any of the data you’ve already entered into the form.

The online application form will prompt you to enter required contact information and attach the Project Description and any other supporting documents.

Just prior to clicking the “submit” button, you will be prompted to print-out, sign, and mail to us the online form that you have just completed. We need this hard copy – with signature – for our records. You do not need to include the Project Description or any other attached documents with your mailed application form – we will already have them attached to the online form once you click the “submit” button.

Alternatively, you may download a pdf version of our application and mail it in instead.

A Wabash Center grant proposal consists of three parts.

Part 1: Application Form
This cover page provides basic contact information necessary for processing your grant:

•  Type of Grant
•  Title of Project
•  Institution
•  Project Director Contact Information
•  Amount Requested
•  Dates of the Grants
•  Abstract (150 words)
•  Student Learning Impact (150 words)
•  Other Sources of Funding
•  Financial Officer Contact Information
•  Contact Information and signature of the person     authorized to sign grant requests for the school.

Part 2: Project Description
The Project Description is a narrative that should include all of the following elements. (Consult the links on the right for further details.)

•  Title
•  Abstract
•  Student Learning Impact
•  Goals
•  Rationale
•  Project outline and design
•  Evaluation
•  Plans for dissemination
•  Line Item Budget
•  Budget Narrative

To apply online, compose this text in advance. You will be prompted to attach it to the Application Form. We don't need a hard copy.

Successful proposals align these items in ways that demonstrate thoughtful reflection about the issues the project will address, attention to details in the project itself, and clear plans for evaluation and dissemination of the project's results afterward.

It may be helpful to think of the project's activities as the neck of an hourglass. What has come before feeds into the proposed activity, is channeled in an intentional manner, and then flows back out again to be disseminated to future projects.

Part 3: Letter of Support
This letter should be written by the appropriate dean, president or department chair, in order to demonstrate institutional support for the project. The letter cannot be attached to the online application. We need a hard copy of this letter, with signature. Or, an email from the letter writer's email account will suffice.
