General Information
University Life Programming Grants are awarded to programs which:
- build community;
- promote faculty/staff/student interaction;
- celebrate cultural diversity;
- use the institution's technology resources;
- increase collaboration across units within the university;
- and are coordinated and aligned with the calendar of University Life events.
Because University Life Programming Grants are funded with student fee money, programs with a primary audience of students are given priority.
