Student Project Funds support public events (organized by Porter Students) of benefit to the college, campus, or off-campus communities. The grant is to be based on the cost of the project and is usually used for essential supplies and materials. Living expenses will not be funded.  Applicants’ performance in relevant coursework, academic standing, and any record of academic misconduct will be considered.

The amount of the stipend is to be based on the cost of the project. Fellowships are usually used for supplies and materials essential to the project.
