Tri-College University announces the availability of collaborative grant funds
Tri-College University is a bridge of cooperation that runs between Concordia College, Minnesota State University Moorhead, and North Dakota State University. In an effort to promote new collaborative initiatives, TCU announces the availability of one-time start-up grant funds for faculty, staff and students. TCU has found that through sharing resources, a greater number of people can be positively impacted and efficiencies readily obtained. This TCU program is intended to develop collaborative relationships between people in our campus community who share a common interest and vision.
“The grant program, now starting its third year, has provided positive outcomes to our campus and metro communities. The funds have allowed people to act on their vision and ideas by gathering like-minded people from TCU partnering institutions and build on our strong education foundation,” said TCU Provost Tim Flakoll.
Interested faculty, staff and students at each campus are encouraged to submit a grant application detailing their project, need that it fills, level of collaboration and participation between campuses, expected outcomes and level of funding they are seeking. Grants awarded will range from $250 – $1,000. Availability and level of awards are subject to the availability of funds at Tri-College University. Matching funds are not required for eligibility.
To apply for these grant funds, the campus community may access an application from the TCU website at www.tri-college.org, or by calling Sonia Mayo Hohnadel, TCU Communications Coordinator at 701.231.8170.
