Washington University Social Change Grants provide funding and support for students to pursue innovative social change ideas and community projects.  The funding is intended to help individuals and groups defray project and/or cost of living expenses, enabling students to devote full attention to the development and implementation of their projects without the need to pursue paid work.  The Community Service Office provides mentorship and support to prospective grant applicants in the development of the project proposals, and to grant recipients in the implementation and wrap-up of their projects. 

Thanks to a number of generous donors,  several Social Change Grants are available for students.  The Gephardt Social Change Grant supports international civic engagement or service projects demonstrating capacity for sustainable impact on an identified commuinty issue.  All undergraduate, graduate, and profesional students are eligbile, including those completing their degrees.
