Apply now for a Student Initiative Grant Award

The Kernodle Center for Service Learning is offering grants to conduct volunteer work in the community.  Student Initiative Grant Award Winners will receive up to $1000 to implement a project for one calendar year (May through April).

Up to five award winners will be named each year.  To qualify, an applicant must be a full-time student while serving as an award winner and must implement their project in the local community with local partners.  Award winners are individuals, but they may represent a campus group. 

If selected, a student is expected to meet monthly with other recipients, attend a separate monthly meeting with a faculty or staff mentor, and work closely with a community partner. Award winners will also write a final report and make a presentation at a dinner event at the end of the year.

If you are interested in applying you will need to:

• Read through materials about the Student Initiative Grant to better familiarize yourself with the program.  Information is available online at the link below or in Moseley 230.

• Complete the application and return it to the Kernodle Center for Service Learning.

If you need help finding a community partner, please contact the center at elonvols@elon.edu or at (336) 278-7250.
