Stephens College Alumnae Association Boost Grant
for Student Organizations
Boost: v. def: a leg up, encouragement, a financial grant.
Ex: “PRSSA was given a boost grant to offset travel costs to National PRSSA conference.”
Ex: “Refreshed dance costumes were purchased for the annual New Works Concert due to the generous support of the Alumnae Association Boost Grant.”
Student organizations remain in the hearts of many Stephens alumnae. The goal of this grant is to provide student organizations with funding to support various programs, administrative needs, and access to career preparedness activities/conferences that would normally go unfunded.
