Service-Learning Course Support Grants
The Office of Service-Learning offers Service-Learning Support Grants of up to $500 intended to directly support activities related to developing, implementing or expanding academic service-learning opportunities for UGA students.
Applicants may request funds for service-learning classes at any level or location. Priority is given to courses with the S-suffix or SERV attribute, or courses that are in the process of applying for the S-suffix.
Successful past requests have included supplies for student outreach projects, student background checks, materials for community partner agencies, support for hourly and student workers, and community-based research or outreach activities connected to service-learning projects. For transportation support, please apply for a transportation grant (below). Only one grant request per course, per semester may be submitted.
Grant requests are accepted on a rolling basis, subject to availability of funds.
Service-Learning Transportation Grants
With support from a grant from the UGA Parents Leadership Council, the Office of Service-Learning has funding to cover transportation costs for classes traveling off-campus for service-learning experiences. Usually, this entails renting a van or other vehicle from the UGA motor pool. Multiple trips per course are allowable.
The Office of Service-Learning will cover the cost of a UGA rental (van, mini-van, sedan, campus charter bus, or disability van) for your service-learning course through the UGA Automotive Center. Priority is given to courses with the S-suffix or SERV attribute, or courses that are in the process of applying for the S-suffix.
The Automotive Center is at 205 Riverbend Drive, close to the intersection with College Station Road. Contact vehiclerentals@uga.edu or call 706-542-7173/7525 for assistance.
Please include the following statement in any project publicity as appropriate: This project is supported by the UGA Office of Service-Learning and the UGA Parents Leadership Council.
