Funds Available for Student Sustainability Projects

Do you have an innovative idea for a sustainability project affecting the Northwestern community? Submit your application today to the Northwestern Sustainability Fund.

The Northwestern Sustainability Fund (NSF) is a $50,000 pool established to catalyze Northwestern student engagement in energy and sustainability. NSF provides one-time grants for student-led projects directed toward improving the sustainability of the operations or student experiences at Northwestern. The fund and its grant making committee empower students and enable student-driven projects by providing a source of funding, guidance, hands-on experience, and networking opportunities.

NSF has funded a broad range of projects and initiatives including a solar "smart tree" project, an environmental student magazine, and a composting tutorial. NSF is now accepting funding requests for this year's spring deadline on a rolling basis.

All project applications are due by May 23. For more information and to download the application, visit the NSF website or contact Jamie Yarmoff.
