How much can I apply for?
Award amounts will vary but will be typically no more than $1500 per project. Funds must be spent on the approved project by December 31, 2025.
What kinds of projects will be funded?
We encourage proposals that seek to support and improve UMA’s engagement with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. By UMA, we mean on the Augusta or Bangor campus, at any UMA Center, and/or for online or distance students regardless of location.
Priority will be given to projects supporting Strategy 5: Foster Inclusion in UMA’s 2021-2025 Strategic Plan.
