18th Annual Alumni Grants Program

Signon2008-2009 grants were awarded in February 2009 to 14 recipients. Total awarded was $74,541, with amounts ranging from $1,500 to $10,000

The Grants Program is designed to provide funding to University departments or programs.  The grant could be awarded to a one-time program or an on-going program.  The applicants will be screened and the recipients will be selected by committees comprised of alumni. The Alumni Association board of directors selects the winners.

The following were the criteria for 2008-2009. The criteria is being revised for 2009-2010, which will be distributed in fall of 2009.

Applicants may apply for one award per program.  In making a decision, the Alumni Association considers the following criteria, which should be addressed in the grant application:

  • Serves large number of students, or has significant student impact, or reaches an unmet or unique student need.
  • Lasting impact to the University and greater Long Beach community.
  • Educational impact on students
  • Overall value

    Awards will be granted for long-lasting, tangible items.

Awards are NOT granted for the following types of activities:

  • Faculty release time.
  • Program or project is offered by another campus entity.
  • Honorariums
  • Hospitality (i.e.: food and beverages)
  • Postage, advertising, coordinating surveys
  • Travel, including transportation, lodging, conference fees, etc.

The desire of the Alumni Association is to make the application process as simple as possible.  However, those who spend the time to make the application and narrative of the program or activity as descriptive but concise as possible, who address the criteria listed above, and itemize projected expenses with diagrams or photographs (if applicable), will be more successful in the grant process.
