Student Funding Programs -- Two programs are available through the Alumni Association. Both are open to undergraduate and graduate students from all divisions.

The program supports students who create their own community service projects or design their own ventures within existing volunteer organizations. Past projects have included Teach Baltimore and Hands to the Homeless. The Student Services Grant Program promotes the student experience at Hopkins by providing funding to student groups or programs and by supporting campus events, activities and programs that benefit and involve students from all university divisions. Applications are available at divisional alumni relations offices, the Steinwald Alumni House, 3211 N. Charles St., or online at alumni.jhu.edu/alumni/associations/funding/index.html.
