The SSI is now accepting grant applications for student projects for the 2009-2010 academic year. This means that as a student, you can apply for a sustainability related project. There are $12,000 available for next year in grants, and one single project may apply for up to $6,000 dollars. Projects that benefit OSU students and the SSI's mission "Supporting student efforts to create a sustainable community at OSU through opportunity, education, and action" are more likely to be funded. Please contact us if you're unsure about the appropriateness of your project idea.
