The Engaged Arts and Humanities Graduate Student Scholars program helps graduate students apply the tools of their academic disciplines and their unique interests to community-engaged scholarship projects (outreach, research, teaching and/or creative work), and provides funding for this work. A key program goal is to develop a strong cohort and community of learners committed to equity-oriented community partnerships. Students should have an interest in and ability to apply the tools of an arts and humanities discipline and their life experience to work with Colorado communities beyond the university.

We encourage applicants with diverse perspectives and at varied stages of their development as community-engaged scholars, from new to experienced, to apply by Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022, to become part of the 2022–23 cohort. Please see the program information page for the application link and info session dates.
