Funding is contingent upon the submission of a final reflection and photos demonstrating student engagement within 14 days of the project’s completion.
1. Local projects: Faculty submit photos and a final reflection with a few student quotes about the work completed.
2. International projects: Students submit a final reflection and photos documenting their engagement with communities during voluntary work.
Reflections and photos may be featured on the new ELI webpage and the Institute for Social Concerns site, highlighting RLL initiatives. Please provide high-quality images in your reflection form(s). Short videos are also welcome!
Funding can be transferred directly to a student’s or faculty member’s bank account or reimbursed to the faculty member. Please note: transfers to personal accounts may be considered taxable income.
