ELLA

The College of Humanities & Social Sciences encourages engaged learning for our students. Engaged Learning in the Liberal Arts (ELLA) grants are intended to provide support for a broad range of student-centered, engaged-learning projects.

Requests for information about ELLA grants should be addressed to Sara Ulloa, Chair of the ELLA Committee. Applications for ELLA grants are evaluated on a rolling deadline on the first Monday of every month. The ELLA committee will consider all applications received prior to the end of the workday (5:00 PM) on the first Monday of the month.
