Get your university to fund a group trip

How to Get University Funding

Your university probably has funding available for experiences like this (either individual scholarships or funding for faculty-led group trips). Talk to a professor or department about how impactful this experience was, and we’ll help guide the process and provide additional resources. For more information, check out our Educators page or email info@givevolunteers.org

“From the guides, to our hosts, to all the other wonderful GIVErs, I felt truly at home and comfortable with each and every one of them before the trip was even halfway complete. It was so amazing that within 48 hours, I already signed up for the GIVE Hawaii trip! The community and family we built, that I felt, is so powerful that I truly want it to sustain me for a lifetime.” ~ Tyler S. (WILD Past Traveler)
