In support of campus activities that would promote and enrich cultural diversity at The University of Montana, the Diversity Advisory Council invites UM student groups to submit proposals for funding consideration. Several grants, up to $1,000 each, are awarded annually. Only group members (students) may author proposals. Each proposal must identify the group's contact person who must be a student.
