What does it mean to live out one’s vocation as teacher and scholar in a Catholic college or university? What spiritual and intellectual wells can keep us fresh and nurtured throughout an academic career in such a place? Those are the questions Collegium explores.
Collegium provides a handful of small grants (~$1000 to $4000) to alums to further the work of Collegium on member campuses. Reading groups, workshops and days of renewal are typical projects, but the limits are only your imagination. Applications for recent alums and from multiple schools are especially encouraged. Recent grant recipients have found that securing these small seed grants has helped their Mission Offices and other stakeholders find modest additional funds to support meaningful work.
