Make an Impact – Apply for a Change Grant
UConn undergraduates in all majors can apply for up to $2000 in funding to support projects that represent the legacy of the UConn Co-op’s commitment to public engagement, innovation, and social impact.
What can you do with a Change Grant?
- Engage in a service initiative that benefits the UConn community or the broader community
- Provide training, resources, or educational activities to fill unmet needs
- Conduct research that has the potential to benefit the UConn community or the broader community, address community needs, inform policy, or impact practice
- Engage in an artistic endeavor or creative intervention that addresses social issues
- Design and/or prototype a product, device, or service that fills an unmet need, impacts the lives of others, and/or addresses a social or environmental problem
Projects need to be student-designed and/or student-led. Applications are accepted from individuals and from small groups (no more than 3 people) who will be working collaboratively or co-leading an initiative.
