COPC Service Learning Incentive Awards
The purposes of the COPC Service Learning Incentive Awards are to (a) encourage a deeper link between SUNY Fredonia and the local community, and (b) actively engage students in this process. Grant requests must address at least one of the four COPC urban issues and demonstrate the potential for sustainability beyond the funding period. Applicants are encouraged to work in pairs or groups that include students, faculty, staff, community agencies, and/or community leaders. Funded proposals will demonstrate how students will be used in meaningful ways that enhance their knowledge and skills in campus–community activities that directly benefit the local community. Proposals for new and continuing initiatives are acceptable. Submissions seeking support for continuing initiatives must clearly demonstrate how the requested funds will significantly change or enhance on-going programs.
UP to 10 awards will be awarded with the majority of awards being $1,500 or less.
