Diversity Grants
The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) supports individuals and organizations working to foster the cultural and intellectual diversity of the Haverford Community. We provide funding to seed projects and initiatives such as workshops, lectures, concerts and other events that expand and extend our collective understanding of the challenges and opportunities of creating a truly diverse community.
The OMA works in close collaboration with offices such as Admissions, Athletics, the Office of Disability Services, International Student Programs, Eighth Dimension, Quaker Affairs, Student Activities, and The Women’s Center as well as with centers, concentrations, and programs such as Africana Studies, the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, East Asian Studies, the Education Program, Gender and Sexuality Studies, the Hurford Humanities Center, the Koshland Integrated Science Center, Latin American and Iberian Studies, Middle East and Islamic Studies, and Peace, Justice, and Human Rights. We seek to create stronger connections between students who are fostering innovative ideas, faculty members engaged in cutting-edge scholarship, and members of the staff and administration who are maintaining institutional commitments to excellence through diversity.
The OMA has two funding cycles each semester for student-driven programming. The deadlines for funding for Fall, 2011 are September 9 and October 7. Funding applications are available at the OMA office in Stokes 111 or via the link to the left.
