Description

This grant program supports Stanford University instructors in designing and implementing community-engaged courses—known as Cardinal Courses—that connect students with external communities to address pressing social or environmental challenges. The initiative aims to foster reciprocal benefits among students, faculty, and community partners, integrating academic learning objectives with hands-on community experiences. Funding can be used for a range of course-related expenses, including coordinator salaries, transportation, supplies, and honoraria for community partners. The program is part of Stanford’s broader Cardinal Service initiative, which seeks to make service a distinctive feature of a Stanford education.
