The Bob Graham Center for Public Service at the University of Florida and the UF Division of Student Affairs invite UF students to propose projects that will enrich our campus and Florida’s communities. Healthy civic campuses and communities are characterized by involved citizens, responsible leadership, and actions and initiatives that assist fellow citizens and students. They promote high levels of trust, connection, confidence, and engagement, and their members volunteer, stay informed, and express themselves in a civil manner.
Selected proposals will be creative and innovative and will aim to strengthen the University of Florida campus, our Florida communities, or both. Projects can take many different forms, with a focus on social, economic, educational, health, and political issues, or on some combination thereof. They can also examine a community in Florida or some aspect of student life on the UF campus, or both, but they must be collaborative, groundbreaking, and promote achievable objectives.
Applications are open to all interested undergraduate and graduate students on campus. Grants of up to $5000 will be awarded to selected proposals. The deadline for entries is March 18.
