Urban Innovation Grants for Student Organizations

The Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation provides grant support for University of Chicago student groups for events, research, or other efforts focused on critical issues and topics impacting cities. The goal is to encourage and support University of Chicago students' efforts that encourage bold thinking around the future of cities. This opportunity is open to undergraduate and graduate student groups at the University of Chicago. The Mansueto Institute provides funding for student groups and organizations across the University of Chicago for events and conferences at the university, such as bringing in outside speakers, or other efforts that focus on cities and urbanization. Research being conducted by student organizations or groups may be considered if it is directly supervised by faculty or university centers/institutes. Funds can be used for expenses related to events and conferences at the university, such as booking outside speakers, refreshments, marketing, or renting space; organizing student groups around issues impacting cities; or conducting research, provided that it is supervised by faculty or another University of Chicago academic organization.
