Many students and student groups have great ideas for projects that benefit communities, but lack the funds to put them into action. This is where the Eagle Endowment steps in! Through our prestigious grant program, we provide AU students with annual grants ranging from $100 to $1000, along with a year of dedicated mentorship.

This award-winning grant program is designed to foster and support student groups in their early planning and implementation stages. We serve as a launchpad for your visions, offering vital seed funds that empower you to embark on impactful service projects. Throughout the school year, we offer two distinct opportunities for funding:

1. Fall Grant - "Back to School, Back to Service"
2. Spring Grant - "Spring into Action"

If you're eager to make a difference but unsure of how to start, we're here to guide you. Reach out to us via e-mail at eagleendowment@american.edu, and let's collaborate to turn your ideas into meaningful actions that leave a lasting impact on our communities. Together, we can create positive change and empower the leaders of tomorrow.
