In the past this has meant everything from foreign aid, education, to networks of university groups and journals. As it is an unrestricted grant, the project is really up to the students’ ingenuity and imagination. Viable projects can deal with the Arts, education, poverty, immigration, University reform, or University groups, the elderly, children and adults with special needs, foreign aid concerns, and culture. The grant can go towards education to further expertise in a particular field, the realization of a particular project, or the continuation of a project already established. Truly, the sky is the limit!
