Student Grants
The Alumni Association’s Student Grant Program provides funding opportunities for student groups and programs that enhance the overall Johns Hopkins student experience culturally, educationally, and professionally. The program, which benefits and involves students from all university divisions, offers grants that support volunteer experiences for students. By encouraging students to create volunteer community service projects or to design ventures within existing volunteer organizations, the program aims to enhance student life and foster positive relationships between the university and the local community.
