The Green Fund Student Research Grant

In accordance with the Green Fund’s mission to reduce NAU’s negative impact on the environment and contribute to a culture of sustainability on campus, the Green Fund Student Research Grant was created during the Fall 2019 term with the vision of incentivizing solution-oriented research on sustainable initiatives local to Flagstaff and NAU.

The Green Fund Student Research Grant is an semesterly application that will accept research proposals each Fall and Spring. All full-time NAU students, undergraduate and graduate, may apply for funding. We eagerly await the opportunity to review applications.
