A second round of proposals has opened for the Ford Community Corps Partnerships (FCCP) grants. It’s a great way for Detroit Mercy students to earn grants to provide support for creative service-learning projects.
The deadline for the next round of proposals is Friday, June 10, 2022.
With these mini-grants from the Ford Fund, students can get leadership training and a generous salary to coordinate these projects. Faculty partners also get a stipend and money for materials.
In the past, Detroit Mercy has provided funds for projects, such as:
- Students from a Political Science class give support for an agency that helps people facing eviction.
- Student from a Business Writing class creates Canva templates to help a non-profit organization enhance their social media presence, as well as many others.
- Students from a Nursing course provided people facing homelessness with a health resources list.
- Law students provided info to youth in a foster care facility about their legal rights.
Take a look at all previous projects.
