Partnerships/Funding University-Community Engagement (UCE) Grant The UCE grant provides an opportunity to develop or build upon existing educational partnerships between UC campuses and community-based organizations, including faith-based institutions. For the purpose of the UCE funding opportunity, partnerships are defined as sustained collaborative relationships between UC and community-based organizations that improve student learning, close achievement gaps, and increase college-going rates among low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. UCE grant awards are intended to engage UC and community-based organizations in joint actions that improve learning outcomes for low-income and educationally disadvantaged youth. Projects should target students and communities facing significant barriers to educational achievement, characterized by lack of access to higher education and a dearth of pre-collegiate academic preparation and information resources. The UCE grant awards program is intended to extend the University's educational partners to include more community groups that are actively involved in and committed to improving academic achievement for underserved students.Funding Information |
