Applying for a Supplemental Grant

Supplemental Grants at the Center for Social Concern allow student groups to access funding in addition to their semesterly budget to meet unanticipated needs or fulfill new opportunities that pop up. Grants are reviewed by ARC on a rolling basis.

  • To apply for a supplemental grant you will need you to fill out a payment/budget request from YOUR HOPKINS GROUPS PAGE. Go to your club's page on Hopkins Groups, select "Money" from the side menu, and then hit the button for "Payment/Budget Request." This should take you to the form on the right. From the options, select "CSC Supplemental Grant AY25"  to create a budget request from CERAC. Once you fill this out, you will automatically be redirected to the supplemental grant form. Please be as detailed as you can!
