About Follow-On Projects
The SUSI on Women's Leadership will provide a rigorous curriculum that focuses on Leadership for Service & Social Change and Women's Empowerment.
To ensure that participants apply what they learn during the institute and give back to society, participants are encouraged to develop social service follow-on projects for implementation upon their return to their home countries. Participants will receive a small grant to use as seed money to implement a follow-on project. They can develop group or individual projects on topics of their choice. They will submit a project plan during the institute for comment and feedback.
In addition to the small grant, alumni may also apply for an $800 micro-grant. This application will be due in the fall after you return home. More details about how to apply will be provided during and after the program.
