Campus Sustainability Challenge

Turn Your Idea Into Campus Impact

The Boise State Student Sustainability Fund (SSF) offers grants of up to $5,000 for on-campus sustainability projects. Open to all students, the fund offers hands-on experience in sustainability, grant writing, and project management. Projects should be small in scale—e.g., large-scale solar installations wouldn’t qualify, but smaller ones might. Be creative!

Call for Proposals is CLOSED

Check back in Fall 2026!
