Spencer announces conference grant theme, December due date

Spencer Conference Grant Program Application Open

The Spencer Foundation is pleased to announce the latest theme for our annual conference grant program. This funding opportunity is aimed at providing support to scholars for small research conferences and focused symposia. We currently seek proposals from scholars whose interests are related to critical questions that interrogate how to create and sustain equitable educational spaces. We seek to fund small conferences that will lead to robust research agendas that support the advancement of learners who face structural and systemic barriers in their pursuit of educational opportunities.

Through this program, we will provide grants of up to $50,000 to support each conference. Proposals are due at 4:00 pm central time on December 1, 2017. Register for the webinar scheduled for noon on Oct. 10. For more detail about the request for proposals click here.
