Inspiration

Our campuses and communities inspire us.

The OFIC Inspiration program takes that inspiration and turns it into action across campuses and communities. Through Inspiration Diversity Campus Grants, we provide resources to launch and grow initiatives that make a real difference for students. Inspiration Awards recognize the people, programs, and activities that have had a meaningful impact, celebrating creativity, leadership, and collaboration that uplift both campuses and the communities they serve.

OFIC Inspiration Diversity Campus Grants - Submissions Now Open!

Originally launched in 2007, and reimagined in 2023, OFIC’s Inspiration Diversity Campus Grants are designed to support successful existing programs or to launch new initiatives. The grants make it possible for OFIC students, campus leaders, and local community members to engage, enlighten and connect around topics of diversity, inclusion, access, and equity.
