Diversity and Inclusiveness Grants

Diversity activities, here at PVCC, are an important aspect of our learning centered philosophy. Our college is dedicated to promoting activities that advance learning and increase the understanding of diversity and inclusiveness for students, employees, and the local community.

Grants are available for the faculty, administrators, and staff to support this effort. Students and Community members must partner with a college employee to apply for a D&I grant. 

We encourage you to design and implement one of these important projects. 

  • Grant submission for Cultural/Heritage Month programming MUST be submitted one (1) month prior to the start of the Heritage month.  
  • ALL OTHER activity proposals should be submitted no later than 2-3 weeks in advance of the date of your proposed event/activity.

For more information, refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

If you have further questions, please contact Dr. Amina Simmons at 602-787-6691 or amina.simmons@paradisevalley.edu.
