Seagraves Service Grants for Student Organizations
The Seagraves Service Grants for Student
Organizations are available to all officially
recognized UNC-Chapel Hill student organizations
to support public service projects in
North Carolina. Through the generosity
of an alumnus, grants of up to $300
are awarded from a pool of $3,000. The
program is named in honor of Mildred
Yeager Seagraves, grandmother of the
donor. Funds may be requested for any
costs associated with the proposed service
project, including supplies, travel,
equipment, and other related programming
expenses. Proposals are requested in
the fall semester for projects to be
completed by the end of the same academic
year.
Application Process:
The call for proposals for the 2009-2010 grant process is now closed. Organizations that applied will be notified of their status by November 2, 2009.
Guidelines for submission:
All officially recognized student organizations
(undergraduate and/or graduate) at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill are eligible to apply. Grants must
be written and administered by a student
in the student organization (not a staff
member or collaborator). Student organizations
may apply for only one grant per committee
or subgroup. Student organizations that
have received Seagraves Grants in the
past may apply for funding for new
projects only. If you are not
a recognized student organization but
are interested in becoming one, see
the Carolina Union’s, “Office of Student
Activities and Organizations” website
here.
