For Students

The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) obtains grants and gifts from foundations, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations to support student research, programs, and other institutional priorities and funding needs.

Requests to external funders for financial support must be submitted through the CFR Office. Please contact us  before reaching out to funders or submitting proposals. The earlier you contact us, the better we can help you. Please note that we must have your final draft (including budget and other components) at least 10 business days ahead of the proposal deadline or we cannot guarantee timely submission of your proposal. Please plan accordingly to meet the internal deadline.
