Small grants can be awarded to HMC community members that are working towards inclusive programming and events that that are centered around personal growth in the areas of social justice and understanding the impact we can have on society. Grants are designed to provide flexible funding that can be used for new ideas or to support established projects looking to expand their impact.

We actively seek projects that support all students, embrace their various interests and amplify the voices of the Mudd community. If you have a new idea and would like some guidance on how to bring it to life, please contact OID@hmc.edu.
