Mental health is a campus-wide issue that can affect all students, faculty and staff. The responsibility for campus mental health and well-being does not rest with any single department. Rather, services, programs and resources should be infused throughout all aspects of SUNY Oswego to create a culture of care on campus.
SUNY has invested over $24 million in Federal American Rescue Plan funds to expand and support student mental health and wellness services and enhance campus resources. SUNY Oswego is fully vested in this initiative at the campus level.
In order to advance this culture of care, and opportunities to support student mental health and well-being, SUNY Oswego’s HEERF Committee is awarding $25,000 in funding to support high-impact mental health projects to be implemented during the spring 2023. Each proposed project has a cap of $2,500. These mini grants are intended to advance or support student mental health or well-being. Students, student organizations, faculty and staff are encouraged to submit an application.
To apply for a mini grant, submit an application. The priority deadline is Nov. 18, 2022. For more information or questions about the mini grant application process, contact Christy Huynh at christy.huynh@oswego.edu or Brooke Gingher at bgingher@oswego.edu. For questions about what funds can be used for, contact Becky Waters at becky.waters@oswego.edu.
