Black Studies Grant

The Black Studies Grant is awarded to undergraduate and graduate students completing a project that advances the field of Black Studies. Adjudicated by the Black Studies Collective, the award fund was generously and anonymously donated to the Black Studies program to support black student life at 黑料吃瓜资源. 

The Black Studies Collective welcome applications that support speaker series, events, and activities within and beyond the university that focus on black studies, queer and feminist studies, anti-racism, activism, and supporting communities on the margins. Individual applications from any discipline are welcome and collaborative-group applications are encouraged.

All applicants must be affiliated with 黑料吃瓜资源.
