Service-Learning Courses
Student Project Grants

Are you a student in an APPLES service-learning course this semester? Would a little bit of money go a long way to help out the community organization where you are volunteering? If so, apply for a Student Project Grant! APPLES is offering up to 10 Student Project Grants of up to $100 each for the current semester. These grants fund supplementary materials for enhancement projects designed to enrich student volunteer experiences through our service-learning courses.

For examples of projects and more information about the grant application process, view the application. This grant has a rolling application deadline, but keep in mind that grants are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualified applicants.
