OWU Connection Grants

OWU Connection Grants Include:

Do you have an OWU Connection experience that helps you Think Big, Do Good, Go Global, or Get Real? Do you have a financial need to participate in this experience that is less than $4,000? If so, this is the application best suited for you. This grant is best for independent experiences. 

** When you follow the link below to apply, sign in by clicking the OWU logo and your OWU single-sign-on information. 

Did you learn something in class that struck your interest? For example, you may want to dive deeper into why an organism functions in a certain way, experience life in a different culture, or provide service through sustained volunteerism. Does this idea or activity require more than $4,000 of funding? If so, Theory-to-Practice grants are best suited for you.

Theory-to-Practice grants are great individual or group experiences. 

Thanks to the generosity of OWU Alumni and Friends we are able to provide OWU Connection grant funding to remove barriers and stress related to financial needs you may face exploring undergraduate research, service and community learning, travel and cross-cultural experiences, and career development.

Recent grants have supported projects that include studying green energy and hydrogen fuel cells; comparing the elementary school structures in Dublin, Ireland, and Dublin, Ohio; building rapport between cultures while interning with the East Meets West Foundation in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and interning as a data analyst at a high-growth technology company.

To date, OWU Connection grants have awarded over $2 million to the campus community, enabling thousands of OWU students, faculty, and staff to conduct research, complete service projects, travel, and intern in 62 countries (including the U.S.) and 25 states/territories, including Ohio.
