MUW Center for Creative Learning

The Center for Creative Learning at  Mississippi University for Women offers you the opportunity to develop new teaching strategies, engage in research related to teaching, or to work with other teachers on topics of specific educational interest. We encourage you to apply for a mini-grant of up to $2,000.

Please keep in mind that our goal is to fund innovative, action-based programs that directly impact student achievement. Funds may not be utilized for field trips or basic curriculum needs. The grant period cannot exceed one school year. Awardees will be responsible for submitting a complete report to the Center within 60 days of project completion.

There are two award periods annually. The proposal deadline for spring grants is October 31, and the deadline for fall proposals is April 30. Awardees will be notified within 6 weeks of the proposal deadline, and funds will be available within 3 weeks of notification.

We look forward to receiving your exciting proposals, which will enable you to provide students with a more creative, enhanced educational program. If your grant is awarded, you will be invited to present your project at the Center's dissemination conference.
