Global Impact Awards

The Global Education Office presents two Global Impact Awards calls for proposals for the Global Learning Program Development Awards and the Global Partnership Impact Awards. These awards will fund proposals from VCU academic units to develop partnership collaborations with institutions abroad or new global learning programs. For each CFP, there will be up to five awards of up to $5,000. 

Successful applicants will be expected to work closely with staff in GEO's Global Learning or Global Partnerships units for guidance and support in project development.

Completed proposals for both CFPs are due by Friday, May 23, 2025 and should be submitted online via the below submission forms. Awards will still be announced by Sunday, June 15, 2025 and funds should be used by June 30, 2026.
