Multicultural Council Grant

Note: The Multicultural Council  Grant is no longer accepting applications for the 2013 spring semester.  As of March 20, we exhausted our fund for the 2013 Academic year.  The grant will re-open in August.    

The MCC provides funding for cultural events and educational multicultural programs on the UW-Madison campus. The Council is a vital component of the MSC and the Division of Student Life (DoSL) and works in cooperation with other campus groups to sponsor and provide funding for a variety of multicultural events and educational programs. Funding decisions are made by a board of 10-13 student representatives who are elected/ appointed annually. Ten of the representatives are elected/ appointed by student organizations housed within the MSC. Any UW-Madison student may apply for one of the three (3) at large seats on the council.

  • All Grants must align with MSC & MCC Mission
  • MCC specializes in small budget events (Total event budget must not exceed $7000.00, Maximum MCC award is $5000.00 [single event/grant])
  • MCC must fund a minimum of 70% of the event
  • MCC can fund up to 100% of an event (if the total budget is below $5k, if doing so would not violate State/University/MSC/MCC policies)
  • No RSO can receive more than $7k in a fiscal year
