Grants for Student Groups

Student Group Grants are awarded to Undergraduate Student Organizations, Graduate Student Organizations, University-wide student organizations, and Graduate Special Groups working with a Harvard faculty member for publications, workshops, conferences, and/or events at Harvard University related to Latin America, the Caribbean, or Latinx populations in the United States.

During AY 23-24, support may include: grants for approved expenses, content or strategy advice, publicity, space rental needs, and/or staff assistance. Student groups are encouraged to apply at least 1 month in advance, in an effort to create more opportunity for collaboration and outreach.

Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis (with a recurring deadline of before the 1st of the month). Groups are notified of application decisions within one month of their review period.

Please note:

• Events must have a strong academic component (study breaks are not considered)
• Events must have confirmed information (date, title, speakers, format, etc.) 
• Groups applying for retroactive funding will not be given priority

• Brief Synopsis
• Detailed description
• Detailed budget
• List of any applicable current/potential cosponsors
• Perceived community impact
• Link to any digital materials/publicity already in place

• All applications are reviewed monthly. You must submit your application at least one full month before the date of your event. If you submit after, we can't guarantee that your application will be reviewed by the time of your event. For example, if your event is scheduled to take place in October, you must apply by September 1st. Your application will be reviewed in the September cycle. 
• The process of receiving notice and then obtaining actual funds may take up one month. Please plan accordingly when applying for a grant.
• DRCLAS is unable to accommodate last-minute reviews for groups that apply late. Retroactive funding, for such case, is considered low-priority. 

If you are a member of a student group/organization, please update your group's information here.
