CE Scholarships and Funding

The MCCE provides mini-grants for students to support the completion of civic engagements projects on campus. Additional Civic Engagement funds are available for students and recent graduates in the form of scholarships and fellowships. 

Civic Engagement Mini-Grant

The MCCE invites students to submit proposals for mini-grant funding for civic engagement projects. Funds are typically disbursed through a reimbursement process (students pay up front and must have a receipt in order to be reimbursed) and are allocated on a first-come, first served basis each semester. Reimbursement paperwork must be submitted to the director of the MCCE by December 1st for fall term expenses, February 1st for winter term expenses, and May 1st for spring term expenses. To apply, complete the following application. Applicants will typically be notified of their application's acceptance or decline within a week of application submission.
