2022-2023 Roland & Beth Dille Fund for Excellence Grant Program – Call for Applications

The Dille Fund for Excellence annually seeks grant proposals from the campus community for projects that raise the quality of education at Minnesota State University Moorhead. All faculty and staff of the MSU Moorhead community are eligible to apply.

Proposed projects should demonstrate innovation, uniqueness, and a commitment to improved educational experiences for MSU Moorhead students. A statement of how the project is consistent with the MSUM Strategic Framework and Strategic Priorities is required. Applicants are encouraged to submit grant requests with projected budgets of a $500 minimum. The following types of projects are appropriate for Dille Fund grants:

  • Faculty research projects that involve students
  • Equipment grants to support innovative instructional systems
  • Guest lectures and artists who would share insights and expertise with the campus and the community
  • Cooperative community projects that encourage university/community interactions
  • Special projects involving a particularly innovative idea

This year we are placing priority on “Alpha Projects” or special innovative projects that can have a broader impact either for the college or the university.

No sabbaticals, faculty/staff compensation, leaves with pay, or foreign travel will be supported by the Dille Fund for Excellence.

Application forms are available on the Academic Affairs website
