CBL Funding Opportunities

In order to ensure that Portland State University is able to sustain its community-based learning and civic engagment efforts, the Center for Academic Excellence actively seeks funding from outside sources, primarily in the form of grants. These funds are used to sustain existing projects, to create new projects and partnerships and to encourage the development of community-based curricula and a civically-engaged faculty.

In addition to providing funding opportunities directly, the Center for Academic Excellence also strives to make PSU faculty, staff, and students aware of the various funding opportunites available at both the national and regional levels.
