Community Grant Program
Administered by the College of Engineering Office of the Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education (ADGPE), the Graduate Student Community Grant Program aims to foster creative initiatives that will enhance the collaborative spirit among graduate students in the College of Engineering. Promoting a sense of community through crossing disciplines, building connections, and establishing bonds of kinship is the primary purpose of the grant.
