The W.M. Keck Foundation views a liberal arts education as one that provides distinctive undergraduate training across the range of traditional liberal arts subjects in the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities, with an emphasis on intellectual openness, sound reasoning and effective problem-solving. Colleges and universities that offer programs with these characteristics, particularly at private, predominately undergraduate institutions, may submit requests. Projects should have the potential to fulfill the Foundation's longstanding goal of setting new directions with significant and lasting impact. Past grants have supported interdisciplinary projects; consortia enabling two or more colleges or universities to share equipment, experiences or approaches; and creative new approaches with technology, pedagogy or student/faculty engagement. Requests may seek funding for equipment, supplies, personnel or a combination of these components. Grants range from $500,000 to $5 million.
