Supply Grants allow students to carry out research or creative activities under the guidance of a mentor. Grants can fund research supplies, travel to field sites or archives, supplies to create artworks or theatre performances, and more. Supply Grants are available through a competitive application and can provide up to $1000 per student.
Students can apply for one Supply Grant per semester and may receive a maximum of $2000 in funding during their time at FLC. This is dependent on available funding.

Travel Grants allow students to present or perform at a conference, symposium, design competition, theatre or music festival, art exhibit, etc. Travel grants support sharing completed student work outside Durango in official, professional settings.
Travel Grant applications are considered for funding on a rolling deadline; students may apply after their work has been accepted for presentation. Students traveling to the same conference should submit one application, share travel costs (e.g., carpooling, sharing hotel rooms), and limit expenses as much as possible.
Funding is limited to $800 per student per semester.
