Scholar Enrichment Grants

Each Richmond Scholar and Oliver Hill Presidential Scholar is eligible for an Enrichment Grant of up to $5,500 to support a faculty-mentored activity which enhances the Scholar's academic experience. While a wide range of activities will be considered for grant funding, the student must present a strong case for how the experience contributes to their overall academic or professional trajectory. Examples of how other Scholars have used Enrichment Grants can be found at on these pages: 2024 recipients and 2022 recipients.

Scholars must submit a formal grant application by one of three published deadlines; after the grant is complete, scholars are required to submit a post-grant report, detailing how the experience met their objectives and enhanced their overall academic or professional experience.

Scholars should submit the application which best corresponds to their proposed project through the application in the Student Success Portal.
