Small Sustainability Scholarships and Micro-Grants are available to students!
Please share with students:The SUNY Office of Sustainability is very excited to be launching the first-ever system-wide Student Sustainability Awards. This program not only provides students with a small scholarship for the work they have done to advance sustainability on their campus, but it also rewards them with a micro-grant to create an event, activity, or program that gets other students involved.
Prizes will be awarded in 5 categories. A first place and runner-up will be decided in each category, bringing the total number of awards up to 10. First place awardees will be granted a $500 scholarship and $500 to get other students involved. Runners-up will receive $250 for each. The five categories are:
- Arts and Communication Award
- Footprint Award
- Research Award
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award
- Environmental Justice Award
The website can be found here with more information and instructions to apply: Student Sustainability Awards. A digital version of the poster with a QR code is also attached.
Please share this opportunity far and wide on your campus to any students that may be interested! Applications will close on November 14th, 2025. Contact sustainability@suny.edu with any questions.
