¶¶Òù, Inc. (UEI), a Sacramento State non-profit auxiliary organization, exists to meet the evolving needs of the University community by providing programs and services that support and strengthen the Sacramento State experience. UEI’s management and staff work to advance Sacramento State’s commitment to being an integral educational, intellectual, economic, social, and cultural resource for the region.
The UEI Campus Grants Program reflects UEI’s investment in the ongoing vitality of the campus community and the important role played by innovative faculty, student, and staff projects.
UEI will award grants to projects that are innovative, with demonstrable need, and which benefit the greatest number of Sacramento State students, faculty, and/or staff.
We are particularly interested in projects that advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, research, and campus engagement. The award maximum is $5,000 and the average award is anticipated to be $2,500 or less. Sacramento State faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to apply.
While the competition is open to any project or initiative that applicants can demonstrate will fit with the above criteria, the Committee is particularly interested in projects similar to the following:
- Activities that connect students and community-based organizations or agencies for service learning and experiential learning opportunities;
- Research-based projects (field, campus, classroom, laboratory, etc.) with substantial faculty-student interaction and clearly demonstrable participant goals and deliverables;
- New approaches to developing undergraduate and graduate research opportunities;
- Events, programs, and activities that increase connections between campus units or with community-based organizations to advance a health, social, economic, or workforce issue of importance to the campus and region.
