Hands holding a tiny plant in soil

Thank you for your interest in TGIF + SERC’s Eco Fund. This Fall, we are accepting funding requests from 02/05/2024-04/21/2024.

We award small stipends to students leading projects that incorporate environmentalism, sustainability, and/or environmental justice in their events. These stipends can cover the cost of food, venue fees, books/materials, travel costs, and speaker stipends. The Eco Fund also awards stipends to students that are enrolled in environmental courses and need support accessing course materials (including but not limited to textbooks, calculators, software, etc.).
