Taking Your Good Idea to the Next Level

Our students, faculty, and staff are the real campus sustainability experts. Have you come up with a way to reduce IUPUI’s environmental impact? Tell us about your idea, and you could garner a Greening IUPUI grant to make it happen.

Greening IUPUI grants are awarded annually in the spring semester to projects that advance our campus sustainability principles. IUPUI dedicates a total of $50,000 to fund the one-time grants each year. Please review the 2013 Greening IUPUI Grant Guidelines.
