The subscription-only proposal provides support for individuals or teams that need access to a paid subscription or API credits to get started on an initial AI exploration, with the goal of submitting one of the two other proposal types after the two-month subscription time period.
This is only available to faculty and staff members at Fort Lewis College.
Subscriptions can include access to paid versions of LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude), AI development software, API credits, and more niche/industry-specific AI solutions.
An initial two-month subscription will be provided. At the end of the two months, a short summary (1-2 pages) will need to be completed, including a description of specific application areas. If the team or individual wants to extend their subscription, they must submit a Teaching with AI or a Full Project Proposal.
The maximum funding amount is $300 and will only be available until our allocated pool of funding for subscription is exhausted.
Application deadline:
Subscription requests will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until funding runs out
June 15th, 2025 is the last date to request subscriptions as part of the 24-25 program
