THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Higher Education, Disadvantaged Students, Youth Development, Minority Students
Deadline: Oct. 22, 2021
“Lilly Endowment is pleased to announce Indiana Youth Programs on Campus (IYPC), a new initiative to support Indiana higher education institutions in their efforts to create new or expand or enhance existing high-quality, on-campus educational camp programs for Hoosier youth that will help them to explore their interests, learn new skills and envision a future for themselves in college. IYPC is intended, among other things, to help address Indiana’s unacceptably low rankings in the percentage of its adult population with a bachelor’s degree or a meaningful postsecondary credential and to help increase the higher education enrollment and success of traditionally underserved students.
The Endowment’s two overarching goals for the IYPC initiative are:
(1) Increase opportunities for Indiana youth to participate in learning experiences on college campuses that will expose those youth to Indiana’s higher education institutions while providing them with experiences that will, among other things, help prepare them for success in college and later life.
(2) Increase the numbers of Indiana youth who successfully attend Indiana colleges and universities and obtain valuable postsecondary degrees and credentials and thereby help strengthen the institutions and improve the education levels of Indiana residents.
Mindful of these two goals and based on the belief that students, especially students of color, first generation college students and students from families with limited resources, are more likely to attend college if they are exposed to college life and campuses as youth, the Endowment has made available up to $28.8 million for IYPC. The Endowment invites each of Indiana’s 36 colleges and universities with physical campuses in Indiana to submit proposals for optional planning grants and program implementation grants at three different funding levels for a period of up to three years. The Endowment hopes that programs supported by the initiative will result in the successful participation of many more Indiana youth in postsecondary education in Indiana.”
Funder: Lilly Endowment

Amount: Up to $1,000,000
