You should be dreaming big for your student organizations. But we know big dreams require financial support and investment—that’s why we offer funding support through grants.
Your great ideas, our support

$70,000Funds available annually to undergrads from the Undergraduate Education Enhancement Grant
$60,000Total awarded each year through the Graduate and Professional Education Grant
Student Organization Grant (SOG)
To earn these funds, your RSO should work to improve your peers’ intellectual development, critical thinking, and cultural competence. To apply for the grant, head to your organization’s Events tab in The Spot and select the SOG option when creating an event.
Undergraduate Education Enhancement Grant (UEEG)
Whether you’re a member of a student organization or flying solo, you’re eligible for the UEEG. Funds can be used for your professional and academic development as well as leadership training, and the opportunity has to be related to your major or RSO’s mission. To apply for the grant, head to your organization’s Events tab in The Spot and choose the UEEG funds option when creating an event to start the process. This grant is for undergraduate students only.
Graduate and Professional Education Grants (GPEG)
It can get expensive traveling to conferences and conducting research. That’s why Graduate and Professional Student Government provides up to $500 per student per year through the GPEG. Funds can be used to attend or present at local, national, and international conferences as well as for research and training. Contact

If at first you don’t succeed, you can try again
As a trained, unbiased committee that promotes the good use of student funds, the SDFC reviews new grant proposals and hears appeals for those previously unawarded. If you are not satisfied with the SDFC’s original decision, you may ask for a second review by the committee and staff in Student and Family Connections. Decisions will be made within two weeks of your appeal. Contact SDFC@iu.edu for more information.
