NetVUE Grants for Fostering Leadership for Communities of Faith - Council of Independent Colleges NetVUE Grants for Fostering Leadership for Communities of Faith - Council of Independent Colleges NetVUE Grants for Fostering Leadership for Communities of Faith NetVUE member colleges and universities recognize that intentional programming and thoughtful mentoring can prove significant in a higher education setting for the exploration and discernment of a student’s many callings in life.
This grant program provides funding for institutions that are working to augment their support for students who are considering possible callings to leadership roles in communities of faith.
Grant funds should be used to develop or extend programming for students, and/or professional development for faculty members and staff, with the goal of connecting students to local faith communities and supporting them as they explore and discern their callings. Initiatives may be developed within or across a variety of academic departments and campus offices, and should involve leaders of one or more faith communities near campus.
This initiative is administered by CIC with generous support from Lilly Endowment Inc. NetVUE Grants for Fostering Leadership for Communities of Faith may be requested in amounts ranging up to $60,000 for use over two years to develop new programs, or to strengthen existing programs, that support students as they consider vocations of leadership for communities of faith.
Programming should seek to develop students’ capacity for such leadership, in part through facilitating formative connections between participating students and particular faith communities. A wide range of proposals for student leadership formation are welcome, but each should include a mechanism for involving students (individually or in groups) with an established faith community near campus.
Particular preference will be given to proposals which include efforts connected to justice or reconciliation, and to approaches that seek to ensure that all students will have access to this opportunity. Funds may be used for a range of purposes, but not to substitute for faculty and staff costs that the institution is presently providing for its vocational exploration activities.
Capital expenditures, new personnel lines, equipment purchases, and indirect or overhead costs are not eligible for grant support; these expenses are to be covered by the institution. Rather, grants are meant to be used to offset one-time costs of program development and implementation. In the previous rounds of this program, CIC awarded 64 grants to NetVUE member institutions.
