Membership Changes Lives

Your contributions to the Chancellor's Circle allow the Foundation to support new projects with far-reaching implications.

Once such area of support is the Chancellor's Circle Mini-Grant program for faculty. Since inception, the Chancellor's Circle Mini-Grant program has awarded more than 130 Mini-Grants of $1,000 to faculty.
