NetVUE Vocation across the Academy Grants

About this program

Administered by the Council of Independent Colleges through NetVUE, with support from Lilly Endowment Inc., these grants fund four-year institutional projects that expand vocational exploration and discernment across academic and co-curricular programs. Institutions may receive up to $130,000 in CIC funding over three years, contingent on a matching-gift requirement, with enhanced awards available through the Community Partnerships initiative. Eligible applicants are NetVUE member institutions that do not hold another conflicting NetVUE grant and have completed reporting for any prior grant. Previous Vocation across the Academy recipients may reapply after a three-year interval between the prior grant’s spending deadline and the proposed project’s start date; proposals are due March 27, 2027.
