Campus Engagement and Leadership (CEL) has limited funds to support collaborative, on-campus programs, events, and initiatives.
Successfully funded programs will align with CEL’s mission to provide meaningful co- and extra-curricular developmental and educational opportunities for students. These experiences should provide students opportunities to develop their leadership capacity and campus engagement in support of becoming life-long learners. Funding is available for student-directed, on-campus programs, events, and initiatives. The programs, events, activities, or projects should provide meaningful co- and extra-curricular developmental and educational opportunities for students.
Programming grant requests must be submitted no later than 14 business days before the program is to take place. This time-frame allows for appropriate processing to take place.
Funding is not guaranteed to be granted in totality for any program, event, activity, or project. CEL may match student organization contributions up to the following limits per program
For student-sponsored events, students must take the lead role in planning, marketing, implementing, and executing funded events. For Department-sponsored events, the financial point of contact for the requesting department will assume responsibility for the appropriate disbursement of any approved funds.

In order for student organizations to receive grant money from Campus Engagement and Leadership, each organization must have an on-campus account in which CEL can transfer funds. Student organizations that do not have an on-campus account will need to work with the Controller’s Office to open an account or ensure that information is up-to-date for an already existing account. For more information on opening a campus account, please feel free to contact Campus Engagement and Leadership at 910-521-6482/6578 or via e-mail.
