NEED MONEY FOR A PROJECT ?

Carleton College is pleased to announce that we have two modest funds with which to support student projects:  The Parents Fund for Academic Excellence (Research-related) and the Tiny Toni Grant (Arts-related).

Note: Only one grant per Carleton-enrolled student per year will be considered from these funds.

RESEARCH-RELATED

Activities the college will consider funding from the Parents Fund for Academic Excellence include:

• Travel to and from conferences in which students have been invited to participate;
• Publication, communication and project expenses;
• Travel to sites where research is being conducted; and
• In rare instances, travel to libraries holding special
  collections.

The College may award up to $250 per student on a first-come first-served basis to help defray the cost of travel to conferences, travel to a research site, or project expenses. Interested students may apply by submitting the following:

1. A narrative description of the proposed program of research, no longer than one single-spaced page, describing the nature of the project in non-technical language;
2. A Funding Request form which includes a budget, including other sources from which you have requested support);
3. A current unofficial transcript;
4. Where relevant, a letter of invitation to participate and/or confirmation that travel to another institution for specific material is necessary;
5. Where relevant, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval;
6. A letter of support from a faculty member who can evaluate the content of the project. Have faculty member mail their letter to Karen Moldenhauer, Administrative Assistant, Dean of the College Office, Laird 131.

Proposals are reviewed upon submission of the above, and you will be notified within a week or two.  

ARTS-RELATED

Thanks to the generosity of family and friends of Toni Sostek, a beloved teacher who passed away in January, 1996, after a distinguished career in dance and choreography, The Carleton Tiny Toni  has been established.

The Tiny Toni is a small grant designed for students who want to use art to enrich their own and others’ lives.  Grants of up to $200 will support projects in any of the arts: English, theatre, dance, music, media studies and art. The grants may be used for a wide range of activities, and are awarded on a first-come first-served basis.

Interested students may apply by submitting the following to Karen Moldenhauer, Administrative Assistant, Dean of the College Office, Laird 131.

• A proposal of not more than 250 words;
• A faculty letter of support to endorse your proposal and your ability to carry out the project, if applicable;
• A budget.
