Campus Sustainability Grants Program

The UGA Campus Sustainability Grants Program provides competitive funding for student-proposed projects and
initiatives designed to advance sustainability through education, research, service and campus operations. Successful
projects address priorities outlined in UGA’s 2020 Strategic Plan to actively conserve resources, educate the campus
community, influence positive action for people and the environment, and provide useful research data to inform future
campus sustainability efforts. Overall, $87,000 and 26 student grants have been awarded, including notable ongoing
initiatives such as UGA Chew Crew, Material Reuse Program, and the UGA Compost Program. In FY14, $28,000 was
granted to implement nine student-initiated projects from installing Bike Repair Stations and “greening” the UGA Office
of Admissions to a student-run dormitory composting program in Creswell Hall.
