Will you be involved in community service or leadership activities on- or off-campus this year? Do you have a novel idea for an innovative engagement project that will positively impact others? Apply for an Honors College Student Engagement Grant to help you on your way.
Through the generosity of donors, the UIC Honors College is able to offer financial awards to encourage enriching educational experiences that complement students' academic experience. Grants will typically be $500 or less, but students may request a higher amount when a suitable and compelling rationale is provided. Costs that may qualify for support might include (but are not limited to): supplies for engaged activities and projects, registration fees and travel for leadership conferences, costs associated with volunteer work, costs associated with the design construction and implementation of technology aimed at solving societal problems, materials for a meaningful event, or start-up funds for a new service-oriented student organization.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the year's allotment of funding is depleted. So the earlier you apply, the better your chances of being funded. A link to the application can be found below:
Feel free to contact any Honors College staff member if you have any questions
