What is the Jennings Green Campus Grant? This is a £30 grant to be used to cover your time spent completing a sustainable activity in your halls of residence. Microgrant activities are usually expected to take up to 2 hours. We have a pot of £420 for funding your initiative so why not apply?

What is a grant? A grant is a sum of money designated for a specific purpose. It does not need to be repaid but must be used for its designated activity.

Why apply for a grant? As a volunteer there are many ways in which you can both support the campaign as well as gain useful sustainability skills and experiences to take forward. In addition to having tangible environmental experience to add to your CV, you will also be able to contribute to a Gold or Platinum badge at the end of the academic year to show you've meaningfully contributed to your halls community through sustainable actions.

Who can participate? If your university is participating in Green Campus Revolution and you live in halls, you can! Please see the online form and Rules & Eligibility Criteria below for more information before applying.
