Student Group Grants

The Center for African Studies is committed to supporting the activities of Harvard student organizations focused on Africa. Grants of up to $500 are offered to registered Harvard University student organizations to fund Africa-related events or activities per year. CAS does not fund benefits, fundraisers, or events that generate profit for a student group or charity organization. Events and activities should have a strong academic, professional, or cultural component.

Grant decisions are based on the activity’s relevance to teaching the Harvard community and the public about Africa. Examples of activities that may be funded include workshop series, cultural performances, Africa-related conferences and Africa Week academic or cultural events. 

Applications for Student Group Grants must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the event/project date.  CAS does not support any events held during the reading or exam period. Applications will be reviewed within two weeks of receipt.

Submit all applications via email to Lindsay Moats, lmoats@fas.harvard.edu.
