The grant is designed for students who wish to make a long-term impact by initiating a project that can be carried on for a number of years. For this reason, we encourage younger students to apply, but students of all years are eligible. The members of each team of student applicants must not be in the same organization as one another (since students in a single organization are eligible for funding through SRB)
Last year’s Inspiration Grant provided funding for the LIONS Garden, which is located between Sullivan and Periera. The Inspiration Grant aims to provide inspired students with funds to realize their dreams of a more socially just and sustainable community.
The application is due Thursday November 10 at 5 pm in ASLMU.

Email kimberlytomicich@gmail.com for details and requirements.
