The Green Fund Student Research Grant

Open the 2021 Application here!

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 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 Research Grant is now an annual application that will accept research proposals each Fall. All full-time NAU students, undergraduate and graduate, may apply for funding. We eagerly await the opportunity to review applications at the end of this year.

The 2021 application period is NOW OPEN and will close on November 8th at 5:00PM.
