Lt. Collins STAMP Gallery Exhibition - Call for Art

In honor of the 10th academic year anniversary of the murder of Lt. Richard W. Collins III, the Bowie State University-University of Maryland Social Justice Alliance invites all students, artists, faculty, staff, and community members across both campuses and beyond to submit original artwork for a commemorative exhibition at the STAMP Gallery.

Rich with Love seeks to honor Lt. Collins’ life and legacy by centering love, humanity, remembrance, and justice. This exhibition creates space for reflection on grief, racial violence, resilience, belonging, and community care - resisting the reduction of Black lives to headlines or statistics.

All artistic forms are welcome, including visual art, photography, film, poetry, music, dance, and performance. Three cash awards will be given. 

Deadline for Submissions (ideas only): May 25, 2026

We invite you to join us in honoring Lt. Collins through art, memory, and collective reflection.

Please help us spread the word!

Call For Pepsi Proposals -- Fall 2026 Programs

 

1. Home
2. Pepsi Enhancement Fund

Pepsi Enhancement Fund

Each semester the Review Committee for the Pepsi Enhancement Fund sends out a call for proposals for program funding. We encourage student organizations and departments to submit proposals for programs and events that will occur during the 2026 Fall semester, Monday, August 31, 2026 - Friday, December 11, 2026. Due to a recalibration of the enhancement fund, a total of $40,000 is available for fall grants. In order to support multiple grants, all requests must not exceed $2,000.00. We will accept one (1) submission per student organization/department. The fund, generously provided by PepsiCo, will be used to underwrite the cost of programs that broadly affect the campus population.

Each of the proposals will be measured by the following criteria:

1. Will the event/program contribute to the creation of campus community?
2. Will the event/program appeal to a wide audience of campus citizens?
3. Will the event/program contribute to the advancement of the academic mission of the University?
4. Will the event/program enhance the co-curriculum, enlarging opportunities for leadership, cultural and social exchange, and service to the University and broader community?

Please submit a proposal online prior to Friday, March 27, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. All proposals must be completed online, and a response is required to all of the questions detailed on the form. The Pepsi Review Committee will review all proposals; departments and organizations will be notified of their award status following the Review Committee meeting, and the funds will be available at the start of the fall semester. Please note that to accommodate the greatest number of groups in our funding process, a sponsoring organization may not submit more than one (1) proposal per semester.
