Loyola University Chicago

Diversity Conference Grant Application

National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE)
Dates TBA

In 1988, The Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies launched the first Annual National Conference for Race & Ethnicity in American Higher Education (NCORE) to address the resurgence of racist incidents in higher education. Since its inception, NCORE has evolved into a vital national resource for higher education institutions, providing an annual multicultural forum that attracts Black/African Americans, American Indians, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Latino/as, and European Americans representing campuses across the United States. http://www.ncore.ou.edu

Loyola University Chicago’s Department of Student Diversity and Multicultural Affairs will invite 3-4 undergraduate freshman, sophomore, or junior students to attend NCORE. This is a great opportunity for students committed to diversity education and awareness. This conference will seek to enhance their knowledge and skills surrounding these issues. If you are selected as a grant recipient, it will cover your flight, conference registration (if not a Student Scholarship recipient) and meals for the duration of the conference. Nominations will also be accepted for candidates by submitting name, email and phone to Benjamin Harris @ bharri7@luc.edu.

**Please go to the website for guidelines and submission directions. For full consideration of the Diversity Conference Grant this scholarship application must completed before the deadline. http://www.ncore.ou.edu/studentinformation.html
