Submit your proposals for a departmental micro-grant by Sept. 1
The George Fox University Program for Leadership & Formation is soliciting applications for departmental micro-grants that further our mission: “to unite the fragmenting purposes of learning (worldview, character formation, and vocation) by building organizational coherence around a Christ-centered framework of character formation (Head, Heart, and Hands) and the virtues of wisdom, moral courage, and neighbor love.”
We invite proposals of any amount between $250 and $2,000 that fulfill the following conditions:
- Furthers PLF mission by focusing on the development and formation of students’ Christian worldview, character, or sense of calling and vocation
- Demonstrates a connection to the formation framework of Head (Wisdom), Heart (Moral Courage), and Hands (Neighbor-Love)
- Is aligned with the following three PLF program commitments: (a) Christ-centered, (b) attention to the affective dimension of formation, and (c) focused on building communities/cohorts of formation
- Has a viable plan for assessment of program impact and, specifically, of student formation (selected applicants will have an opportunity to consult with a PLF research fellow to refine assessment plan).
Note: The term “department” is loosely understood to refer to any existing organizational unit that engages a particular group of students in an ongoing way (academic or co-curricular).
Applications are due Monday, Sept. 1. To submit an application, please click here.
