Higher Ed Group Offering Arts and Humanities Grants to Schools


(Tulsa, OK – GTRNews) A local higher education group is offering grants to Tulsa-area schools to fund arts and humanities projects.

The Higher Education Cultural Roundtable, a consortium of Tulsa-area colleges and universities, will award "mini-grants" ranging from $50 to $250 to assist with schools' arts and humanities expenses including materials, equipment, supplies, guest lectures, artist fees and travel expenses to art events.

Working with the Tulsa City-County Library and the Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa, the Roundtable promotes intellectual, artistic and social discourse on member campuses and in the larger community, engages in cooperative programming and shares resources and ideas. The group was founded upon the recommendation of the 1990 Comprehensive Cultural Plan of the City of Tulsa.

Applications for the 2009 calendar year will be accepted through March 1, 2009. The one-page grant application can be downloaded at http://www.orgs.utulsa.edu/hecr
