Stephens College Alumnae Association Boost Grant
for Student Organizations
What would your student organization do if it had a Boost in funds?
Does your organization have a wish list? Have you said, “If we only had….” Well, in the fall of 2009 one Stephens student shared her wish for her student organization with the Alumnae Association Board, and that blossomed into Alumnae Association Boost Grant program. Student organizations remain in the hearts of many Stephens alumnae, and the goal of this grant opportunity is to provide student organizations with funding to support various programs, administrative needs, and access to career preparedness activities/conferences that would normally have to go unfunded – alumnae want to help bring the wish lists to life.
The Stephens College Alumnae Association would like to invite your organization to consider submitting an application for consideration to receive a Boost Grant supporting needs ranging from $100 to $500.
Below are details of the criteria along with an enclosed application for easy reference. An electronic copy for submission can be found online at this link: Boost grant application
