We offer a portfolio of grant programs for Penn State instructors and academic units.
Proposals that address issues of equity and inclusion in teaching and learning will
receive priority.
Each grant includes a support from an Institute faculty consultant as well as funding.
Please visit the different grant pages for additional information about deadlines, funding
amounts, and eligibility. If you have questions, please send them to us at
SITE@psu.edu.
What we can fund
All expenditures must be related to our mission to advance teaching excellence in Penn State’s
instructional community. Each grant program funds different items and activities. Purchases of
durable items will belong to the unit, not the individual, at the end of the grant period.

our grants. If you have have been awarded a Schreyer Institute grant of $2500 or more
in the past 3 years, please wait to submit another proposal.

Expenses related to study abroad or study away programs
Raffle prizes, gift cards, incentives, or monetary awards for participants
Goods or services from international companies and vendors
Donations to organizations (e.g., in lieu of entrance fees)
