Foundation Faculty & Staff Grant Opportunities 

Academic excellence is the hallmark of East Stroudsburg University, where faculty and staff continually drive innovations across disciplines—from the arts and humanities to the sciences and professional studies. Our vibrant scholarly community exemplifies the pursuit of knowledge, inspiring students and shaping the university's reputation for impactful research and creative achievement.

The ESU Foundation is proud to support this tradition by securing and stewarding private philanthropic contributions that directly enhance the academic mission of the university. Through the generosity of alumni, community partners, and friends of ESU, we invest in initiatives that strengthen teaching, advance research, and promote student success. In alignment with our commitment to academic excellence, the Foundation also actively contributes to institutional priorities through strategic giving.

We are pleased to invite faculty and staff to apply for the ESU Foundation’s internal grant opportunities, designed to support research, foster innovation, and advance academic initiatives. These grants reflect our shared commitment to cultivating a collaborative and enriching academic environment—one where all members of the ESU community are empowered to excel.

Your ideas, your scholarship, and your passion—when paired with philanthropic support—can continue to shape the future of East Stroudsburg University. We look forward to your proposals and to supporting your continued contributions to the university’s mission.
