Partnering for Kentucky’s Future

Across the University of Kentucky, collaboration drives our commitment to serve. As a land-grant institution, we listen first — then work alongside Kentuckians to co-create solutions that matter. 

Through the Office of Land-grant Engagement, we connect campus knowledge with community priorities — turning research, teaching and service into real-world impact.  

Together with local leaders, students, faculty and staff, we’re building stronger communities and a stronger Kentucky. 

Engagement Scholarship Consortium – Grant Applications Open

The Engagement Scholarship Consortium annually opens a request for proposals for one-year projects to facilitate positive outcomes for both scholars and communities. As a member institution, faculty and staff at the University of Kentucky have the opportunity to submit proposals requesting up to $5,000 through this RFP. Collaborative projects including one or more disciplines and/or one or more universities encouraged. The deadline to apply is October 15th.
