2018 Mid-Terms Matter Mini-Grants
To strengthen campus supports for voter education and electoral participation during the 2018 mid-term elections, NC Campus Compact will award $1,000 mini-grants to select member campuses. Mini-grant funds may be used to provide student leader stipends, facility rentals, transportation, food, supplies, materials, printing, technology services, speaker fees, or other programming expenses related to student voter engagement activities. All supported activities should be non-partisan and inclusive.

Funding priorities: efforts to engage first-year students and/or groups (including selected disciplines/majors) with lower voting rates; supporting minority-serving institutions, community colleges, and other colleges and universities where student voter engagement may be under-resourced; efforts to institutionalize voter engagement through the creation of campus-based structures and processes that will provide ongoing support.

This project is supported by the national Campus Election Engagement Project. 

The application is now closed. We awarded 12 mini-grants to 12 different campuses in the network. More info about these projects is coming soon!
Application deadline: May 15
Award notification: May 30
Activity period: June 1 - December 1, 2018
Final report due: December 15, 2018

Did You Know? 

The National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement (NSLVE, pronounced "n-solve") is the first and only study to objectively examine student and institution-level data on student voting and to share these data with participating campuses. Participation in the study is free for campuses, protective of student privacy, and provides generates an institutional report of student voting habits. An NSLVE report is a great tool for planning and assessment. More than 1,000 campuses participate, including 24 institutions in NC. We encourage all member campuses to join NSLVE.
