Small Grant Project
The En/Route Service-Learning Grant project is an opportunity for students to organize a project based on a community need they understand and can adequately address at their respective placement sites. Past grant awards have ranged between $100 and $500, however, final amounts are based on the number of requests and can vary from year to year. Organizing this project is also an opportunity for deeper learning and involvement at your organization in your second semester.
This grant application exercise aims to educate students about the grant application process beyond university life. Applicants are invited to plan ahead and thinking critically about your proposal before submitting the application. While many of you may have limited experience with event planning and grant writing, please fill out this form to the best of your abilities as part of the learning process.
