Updated information: Glickman Challenge Grants

College of Education Professor Emeritus Carl Glickman and his wife, Sara Glickman, have generously funded an endowment to support faculty in implementing collaborative projects in high-needs schools.

Faculty are invited to apply for funds to support them in working beside school partners to implement student-centered, project-based work beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year for up to three years.

• Deadline for proposals: Friday, March 6

The project is intended to take place as part of the general P-12 curriculum provided for all students and not in selective or elective courses, summer programs, or after school programs. The work must take place in a public school with 50% or more of its students eligible for free- or reduced-price lunch.

The proposal must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence the project was collectively developed by P-12 school partners and UGA faculty and that both are fully engaged in the activities of the project. The intent of this funding is to seed long-term collaborations between UGA faculty and school partners.

Proposals will be reviewed by a committee of faculty members and school partners. One award of $10,000 per year will be made, and the project can be renewed for a total of three years, pending annual review of progress. Funds can be used for project-related expenses, such as release time for faculty, graduate assistants, travel to school sites, stipends for classroom teachers, and classroom materials.
