Apply for Glickman Challenge Grants by March 20

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 2026-27 academic year for up to three years. 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 $20,000-$25,000 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 instructional materials.

Applicants will be notified of the outcome by mid-April.
