Campus Progress wants to make sure that students are able to make their voices heard. That’s why we are offering travel scholarships of up to $300 for students organizing carpools or vans from their campus to protest the war in Iraq.
Grants will be awarded on the basis of:
Financial Need
Number of Students the Grant Will Assist
Planned Involvement (For example - Are you going to write a blog post about the rally? Will you be lobbying or collecting letters to congress as well?)
Funds are limited, so we will not be able to help everyone. Carpool organizers receiving grants will be reimbursed by Campus Progress for part or all of their gas, vehicle rentals, or housing expenses (but try to find a friend or friend of a friend to stay with). We encourage you to look for other sources of funding instead of asking Campus Progress for the full cost, so we can help as many students as possible. Grantees are responsible for keeping all receipts and sending them to Campus Progress. We are primarily helping college and university students.
