Welcome, Wildcats!
As new and returning students re-energize campus, we encourage everyone to bring their ideas to make the university a more sustainable place.
The Campus Sustainability Fund is excited to kick off the Fall 2024 semester and announce their Mini and Annual Grant application cycle dates and deadlines. These grants provide an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to bring their sustainability ideas to life.
Eligible projects must directly address environmental sustainability and social sustainability, and directly or indirectly benefit students at the University of Arizona. All interested applicants can head over to the CSF’s website and review the Grant Application Information webpage to read about applicant eligibility, project requirements, and what the Committee will and won't fund, and project expectations.
