Such funding could be for projects, programming, or partnerships with external organizations. Grants will be made up to the amount of $1,000. Students must identify an SSW faculty or staff member who will advise on the project. Project funding can be used for student support (financial aid award or hourly pay), to support partnership with outside experts and communities, travel and event costs (when allowed by the university).
