Humanities Against Discrimination Fund

Hershey Humanities Against Discrimination Fund

The Hershey Humanities Against Discrimination Fund will support anti-discriminatory humanities education at Penn through small grants. We are particularly keen to support projects that work to build long-term partnerships between the university and the diverse community of Philadelphia beyond campus. We know that such education can take an infinite variety of forms, including but not restricted to reading groups, visiting speakers, performances, exhibitions, and scholarly projects. Although it is possible that we will award a larger grant, grants awarded will generally be $1500 or less. Open to the Penn community only.


TO APPLY, please email the following information, saving your document as a single PDF and naming it your Last name_First name.pdf (Franklin_Ben.pdf):

  • 50-500 word description of project
  • budget (including details of any co-sponsorship commitments or applications in process)
