The Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts offers an array of grants to assist BCLA faculty in their scholarship/research projects and creative work. BCLA grants include major research awards (2 awards at $10,000 each) leading to external grant applications and summer research grants (15 grants at $4,000 each) to publication subventions (up to $1,000 each) and summer research expense stipends ($500 each).
The BCLA Scholarship/Research Committee will (a) review applications for each of the awards below (with the exception of the Alternative Break and BCLA First Book Subvention) and (b) provide the Dean with recommendations for funding.
Note that according to IRS regulations, any LMU grant is considered taxable income and should be reported as such for the year it is received. It is unnecessary to provide the University with receipts of purchases related to the project. Please consult your tax advisor for further information and advice.
If you have any questions about the BCLA grants, please contact Yolanda Klishevich at 310.338.2716 or yklishevich@lmu.edu .
The Sponsored Projects Office facilitates external funding for faculty and staff projects to support the University's pursuit of academic excellence.
