UGA Parents Association and Parents Leadership Council accepting grant proposals for Student Life

Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia Parents Association and UGA Parents Leadership Council are accepting grant proposals for the 2011-2012 academic year. Grant applications are due by the close of business, Feb. 4. Grants will be accepted only from UGA schools, colleges, units, departments, divisions or recognized student organizations registered with the department of campus life.

Proposals must demonstrate a direct and positive impact on student life at the University of Georgia. Grants will be awarded in the spring by a committee established by the Parents Leadership Council. Since 2002, the council has funded over $800,000 in grants to several programs and organizations on campus, including the Roosevelt Institute, the Office of International Education and the Office of Student Financial Aid.
