Student Chapter Grant

The Chicagoland Professional Chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB-CPC) provides support for projects undertaken by EWB student chapters in the Great Lakes Region. These grants are intended to provide leverage to secure other financial support, and may be used to cover project-related expenses such as travel insurance, construction materials, test kit rental, etc. Individual grants may total up to $2000.

Please use this form to apply for project grant support from EWB-CPC. Applications will be scored by members of EWB-CPC, based upon the agreement between the proposed project and the organizational goals of EWB.
