Pass the Eligibility Quiz. Click Apply and follow the instructions.
Submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). Once the Eligibility Quiz is complete, you will be directed to complete and submit a Letter of Inquiry. After the LOI has been reviewed, if the submission indicates a potential fit with the Foundation’s priorities, applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal. In the instance of a declined Letter of Inquiry, applicants must wait one year to reapply. During any phase of the application process, any institution may request a withdrawal of its application. The LOI review process can take approximately 3 months.
Complete a Full Proposal. Once the Foundation has invited you to submit a full proposal, please complete and submit the form through the Grants Portal. During this review period, the Foundation may contact your institution if any further information is needed and/or to schedule a site visit. The full proposal review process can take approximately 3 months.
