Are you looking for money to fund your next event?

You're in the right spot! Follow the guidelines and you could have your next event funded.

*The purpose of the substance free event grant program is to provide support for student-sponsored social events. Any student sponsored substance free event scheduled during a high risk time is eligible. High risk times are times that students are more likely to engage in substance use; these times include Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

*If you are applying for a substance free event grant you must turn in your application and meet with a peer educator at least two weeks prior to your event. If you are unable to meet with a peer educator at least two weeks prior to your event, be prepared to pay for the costs of your event upfront and if your grant is approved we will reimburse you. It can take at least one to two weeks to process checks.

*An evaluation form, receipts, and any remaining funds are due within three days after the event. If you do not turn in receipts, you will be asked to refund the money.

*Check out our tips for a successful substance free event.
