UF Gulf Scholars Course Development and Enhancement Grants
We are offering grants to support the creation and enhancement of undergraduate courses focused on the Gulf of Mexico. Faculty can apply for up to $4,000 to develop new Gulf-related courses or $2,000 to enhance existing ones. This is a fantastic opportunity to integrate Gulf themes into your curriculum and provide students with critical knowledge about environmental, social, and economic issues affecting the region.

The UF Gulf Scholars Program invites you to partner with us to offer hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for students.

We are offering between $750 and $5,000 to support experiential learning opportunities and Gulf Impact Projects for students led by UF faculty/staff or community partners.
