CHANCELLOR'S COMMITTEE ON THE STATUS OF ASIAN AMERICANS FUNDING GUIDELINES
The Chancellor's Committee on the Status of Asian Americans (CCSAA) is dedicated to addressing the issues and needs of Asian Americans at UIC.
CCSAA mission is to:
- Promote the academic, social, cultural and professional welfare of UIC’s Asian American students, faculty and staff
- Advise the administration on University policy that affects Asian American constituencies
- Encourage scholarship and practices that reflect and respond to the increasing diversity of our campus and surrounding community in a rapidly globalizing world, and anticipate the ongoing demographic trends that show a rapid growth of Asian Americans among the U.S.’s and Illinois’s ethnic constituencies
- Foster professional opportunities for Asian Americans on campus
- Cultivate relationships with alumni and Asian American communities in the metropolitan Chicago area
General Policy on Funding
CCSAA has funds available to support individuals or organizations in events, activities, and research related to Asian and Asian-Americans at UIC. Priority will be give to proposals that meet the following criteria:
- To support the goals of the CCSAA as articulated in its mission statement
- To develop participation of faculty, staff, and students of specific colleges and departments that do not currently have representation on CCSAA
- To address issues and interests related to UIC faculty and staff
Proposals that focus primarily on students should consider the Asian American Resource and Culture Center and other campus resources.

Requests for funding should be submitted by email to ccsaa@uic.edu, to Elvin Chan at 101 Taft Hall (MC 203), or by fax: 312-413-9732.
