Apply for a Mini-grant
Grants are available to incorporate a work-based learning component in your class (rolling deadline until November 30; earlier applications will have a higher chance of funding):
- Up to $1,500 for low-lift enhancements to an existing course
- $1,500-$2,500 for a substantial redesign of a course or a new project with an external partner(s)
- $3,000 for a new WBLE course
Apply for the WBLE Faculty Fellowship Program
Work with a supportive, collaborative group of 6-12 colleagues to design or redesign a course that meets the WBLE criteria (see reverse side of page).The Fall 2025 Program will include four half-day, in-person sessions with additional virtual activities to complete between sessions (about 40 hours total throughout the fall semester). Participants will receive a stipend of $3,000 for their time and participation. In exchange, they will share their learning at an event, workshop, and/or share materials for the online WBLE toolkit. *This option is similar to applying for a mini-grant, above, but will include more hands-on support and collaboration throughout the design process.
In-person session dates (Fridays 1–3pm):
9/19 – Session One: Introducing WBLE Examples & Best Practices
10/17 – Session Two: Recruiting and Relating to External Partners
11/14 – Session Three: Instructional Design Focus
12/5 – Session Four: Sharing Designs, Receiving Peer Feedback
