STUDENT LIFE PROGRAMMING GRANT
Student Life Programming Grants exist to financially support student-organized programs and events that meet the needs of Homewood students by supporting the following priorities identified by Homewood Student Affairs. Applications will be reviewed and assessed based on their commitment to:
- Building Diverse and Inclusive Communities
- Creating Meaningful Opportunities for Engagement
- Nurturing Healthy and Safe Communities
- Promoting Civic Discourse
Applications that promote group collaboration and present a new initiative or program will be prioritized.
Guidelines
Program Eligibility
- All student organizations applying for funds must be registered with the Office of Student Leadership and Involvement and listed on Hopkins Groups.
- Student organizations applying for funds are encouraged to collaborate with other Registered Student Organizations (RSO), administrative offices, or academic departments.
- Each of the four sections (Building Diverse and Inclusive Communities, Creating Meaningful Opportunities for Engagement, Nurturing Healthy and Safe Communities, Promoting Civic Discourse) must be completed for the application to receive full consideration.
- All sponsored events must be registered on Hopkins Groups and open and advertised to all Homewood students. Private parties or exclusive events will not be funded.
- Events that include a performance, speaker, cultural element, educational component, or community building activity will receive the highest consideration. The Committee will not fund an event that is for recruiting purposes only.
- The SLPG will not fund prizes of any kind, t-shirts, JHU faculty or staff fees, or non-JHU student or group travel. For t-shirts, the group can apply for the Johns Hopkins Credit Union t-shirt grant (CUTS).
- Any equipment or reusable items purchased with SLPG funds are the property of Johns Hopkins University. Your proposal must include a plan for storage, security, and future use of the purchased equipment or reusable items.
- SLPG does not directly fund charities or community agencies.
- SLPG cannot be used to fund events retroactively.
- The SLPG funds are a resource for seed money for groups initiating new programs. Over time as programs continue and grow, the SLPG may fund recurring events at a reduced rate.
- The LEED evaluators reserve the right to amend these program eligibility requirements at their discretion.
Budget Information
- A complete proposal must include a Program Expenses Spreadsheet (view this excel.) Please provide detailed expense information.
- All budget submissions should contain both a virtual and hybrid in-person option for consideration. Please provide the excel documents in your submission request.
- SLPG will be awarded up to $500 for individual RSO events or $1000 for co-sponsored events. Please do not request more than $500 if your program is not co-sponsored.
- Funding is for the direct payment of vendors or independent contractors who provided services for the program or the reimbursement of event purchases made by an RSO member.
- Proposals without a detailed budget or incomplete information will result in the program not being funded by SLPG.
- RSOs are responsible for submitting the appropriate original invoices, contracts, or receipts to the Student Life financial administrator via Hopkins Groups for processing.
Alcohol at Events
- SLPG will not fund alcohol. If alcohol is a part of a proposed program, the event must take place on campus. All events with alcohol must abide by the University's Alcohol Policy and state and local laws.
- If alcohol is present at the event, an equally attractive non-alcohol option must be available, as well as a meal or substantial food.

- Grants submissions occur only one time per semester.
- The deadline for submitting for events in the Fall 2021 semester is October 8, 2021, by 11:59 pm.
- Please submit on Hopkins Groups as a "Budget Request."
- Please make sure you select the budget line "Student Life Programming Grant Fall 2021."
