SVSU Foundation Resource Grant Program
The Resource Grant Program was established in 1998 by the SVSU Foundation Board of Directors. The funds available for award are generated by distributions from the SVSU Foundation Resource Fund Endowment. The program was created because the Foundation and the University wish to encourage innovation and enrichment of opportunities for students by providing "start-up" funds for new or one-time programs or projects. Grant proposals are reviewed by the Evaluation Committee, which is composed of appointed members of the SVSU Foundation Board of Directors. All projects must involve and benefit SVSU students.
