APPLY FOR A GRANT FROM THE BRANDEIS PLURALISM ALLIANCE (BPA)
Are you or your student club/organization interested in organizing a project or event that promotes issues of pluralism and identity at Brandeis in September 2010? If you are planning an event that will occur before September 28, we invite you to apply for a grant by the “off-cycle” deadline of Sunday, April 25.  We are making this special opportunity available, because we know that the regular September 15, 2010 BPA application deadline is too late for some event and budget planning that needs to be in place early in the fall.
For more information about the BPA and grant opportunities, visit the BPA website at www.brandeis.edu/das/pluralism, or contact a member of the BPA steering committee.  The application is available online at www.brandeis.edu/das/pluralism, and of course we also invite you to apply for funding next September 15, for events scheduled during academic year 2010-11.
