External Support

STAR is supported by a Cornerstone: Learning for Living Planning Grant ($25,000) from The Teagle Foundation and The National Endowment for the Humanities, the first such grant awarded to a Kentucky university. From July 2022 to June 2023, it is funding the design of the STAR curriculum and the piloting of first-year experience courses.

We will seek continued support for STAR with an application for a Cornerstone: Learning for Living Implementation Grant (up to $350,000 over two years) which, if successful, will fund the full implementation of the program.
