Election Engagement mini-grants available to students, staff
The University of Maine Political Science Department and UMaine UVote are partnering to offer mini-grants of as much as $500 to support nonpartisan activities intended to raise awareness about voting and the November election.
Election Engagement mini-grants are available to all members of the UMaine community, with applications accepted online on a rolling basis until program funds are expended. Applicants proposing on-campus activities must submit an event planning form to obtain approval for in-person events before grant funds are disbursed.
Projects will be funded, in part, with financial support from the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition and the Ask Every Student program.
