The Academic Events Committee oversees two donor-endowed funds that can be used to support speaking events. If you would like to apply for funding for a speaker (whether or not as a First Monday speaker), please review the fund purposes and criteria below and submit your request through the endowed lecture funds application form.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. If you have questions about the funds or the application form, please contact the Academic Events Committee at AEC@coloradocollege.edu
