Engagement Grant

In recognition of faculty’s synergistic innovation in creating meaningful and impactful experiences for students, IWL has allocated funding to support a smooth transition to teaching in fall 2023 – spring 2024 as we enter the post-covid era.

Engagement and interaction are key to the success of language teaching and learning. To foster full engagement and quality interaction, the budgetary support offers up to $500.00 for faculty to purchase instructional materials, organize extracurricular activities, and hire student assistants to develop materials, facilitate discussion, analyze data, coordinate events and do other relevant tasks. Funds will be given on a rolling basis and should be spent by June 15, 2024 in accordance with UVA regulations.
