Digital Salon Grants up to $7,000
Proposals for Digital Salon Grants are due on April 1, 2021.
Policy on Deadlines for Program Deadlines
The program deadlines are meant to facilitate application by a wide array of participants, as well as create fairness in the selection process. Program deadlines also assist administrative staff who work to support each group and all programs. The Wabash Center will, when we see the necessity, extend the deadline of an application process. We will rarely, if ever, extend the deadline for individual requests. We ask participants, as well as recommenders, to respect these important deadline boundaries. Adherence to deadlines foster fair-mindedness and a spirit of collegiality. Should an issue need to be arbitrated, please be in touch with the Director of the Wabash Center.

Deadline: April 1, 2021
When preparing a grant proposal, we strongly recommend that you find previous projects on similar issues and learn from their experience.
The Wabash Center understands our grants program as a part of our overall teaching and learning mission. We are interested in not only awarding grants to excellent proposals, but also in enabling faculty members to develop and hone their skills as grant writers. Therefore we offer grant coaching for all faculty interested in submitting a Wabash Center Project Grant proposal.
Contact Dr. Paul O. Myhre (myhrep@wabash.edu), Senior Associate Director of the Wabash Center, about grant ideas or with a proposal draft for which you want feedback and response.
There is no guarantee that a grant that has gone through our coaching process will be funded but we will help you present the project in the clearest and most coherent way.
