CONNECT Grant

General Grant Information

The purpose of the CONNECT Grant program is to provide funding support to SUU undergraduate students who want to take their education beyond normal requirements and standard course work to accomplish something that is different, out-of-the-box and/or exceptional.

The library is anxious to support students who are being held back from taking the next step in their university education due to a lack of funding. CONNECT Grants provide awards up to $750, on a competitive basis, to help make these types of projects possible.
