Featured Grants

Academic Freedom
Our grants support projects that safeguard academic freedom to encourage free inquiry, promote the expansion of knowledge, and create an environment in which learning and research can flourish, thereby enhancing the quality of higher education and benefiting society.

Legal Defense
We fund part of the cost of the AAUP’s participation in lawsuits that seek to protect higher education for the common good, and support faculty members in cases at the trial and appellate levels that implicate important legal rights, involve legal issues of national significance in higher education, and affect the careers of academics.
