Grants and Funding

Many partner organizations in the Duderstadt Center include programs that may offer grants, scholarships and other forms of funding to both faculty and students in support of projects and research.

Information about funding opportunities are posted here on behalf of DC Partner organizations that provide services in the Duderstadt Center. We are not able to post every funding program, but priority is given to projects that utilize the unique resources of the DC (e.g., labs, studios, and staff consulting). If your program has a funding opportunity you’d like to have posted here, send your information to [email protected].
