The mission of the NU Choices grant program is to decrease the instance of high-risk alcohol use on campus by encouraging students to make healthy choices through student involvement in educational programming and providing increased alcohol-free activitites. One component of NU Choices is Peers Using Responsible Recreation (PURR), which is designed to provide campus-wide, mini-grant programs for student groups to provide alcohol-free, late-night activities and programming.

With the funding provided by NU Choices for PURR, your group in collaboration with at least one other group will have the opportunity to receive $50-$500 to help fund an alcohol-free, late-night activity or program.
