Notice: 2025 Competitive Outreach Scholarship Grants

The Office of the Vice President for University Outreach sponsors the Competitive Outreach Scholarship Grants Program (COSG) at Auburn University. The COSG program is intramural and made available to promote community-engaged scholarship and the outreach enterprise in the context of mutually beneficial and reciprocal university/community collaboration for the public good.

At this time, the Office of Faculty Engagement is waiting to learn what funding will be available for the 2025-2026 Competitive Outreach Scholarship Grant cycle. When budget allocations are confirmed we will promote the proposal process via the Faculty Outreach and Engagement Council and the Community of Practice Digest and Meetings. We will also make an announcement on this page, please bookmark it and check back often.

Purpose and Scope of Grants

The purpose of the Competitive Outreach Scholarship Grants Program is to encourage and support faculty engagement addressing critical societal needs in Alabama and beyond through university/community collaboration for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in the context of partnership and reciprocity. This intramural program is a collaboration of the Office of University Outreach and AU faculty and is intended to enhance public engagement and vigorously promote outreach scholarship as defined in Chapter 3 of the Faculty Handbook. Each proposal will be judged on its merit and the project’s potential benefit to the State and to Auburn University.
