Grant Requirements
Addressing the Area's Needs
Projects chosen for funding must directly and meaningfully address a social, educational, health or civic need of the region through a mutually beneficial partnership that enriches and expands the learning functions of the university while enhancing the community's capacity to address its challenges.
Grant-funded projects provide win/win situations: learning and educational benefits for the university and its students as well as service-delivery or problem-solving benefit for the local community.
Shared Partnerships
These projects must be true, shared partnerships of effort and financial resources. The university will provide most, sometimes all, of the necessary funding, but it expects the community partners to work hand-in-hand with it to complete the project.
All UCP Grant projects must provide an opportunity for NKU students to actively participate and have a meaningful learning experience.
