What is a CASE Grant? 




The Carter Academic Service Entrepreneur (CASE) grant competition is offered in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, and South Africa to students whose proposals represent the most innovative and promising ways to serve the community while applying what is learned in the classroom to these projects.

In this prestigious recognition, a student winner in the United States receives a grant of  $1,000 (amount is adjusted to accommodate the local economy of a country) to implement his/her proposal, a certificate of merit signed by President and Mrs. Carter, and the project summaries are published on the following websites: www.jrcpf.org,  www.servicebook.org, and www.dostpost.com.   

Who qualifies to apply for a CASE grant?

An applicant for a CASE grant must be a full-time student, propose an innovative academic service learning project, recruit a community as a partner, enlist a faculty member to oversee the project and submit an application over ServiceBook.  Students who win the award keep a running account of project activities and write a summary report at the conclusion of the project.  In addition to the project summary student is encouraged to submit a video and photographs.

Restrictions on the use of CASE grant funds:

CASE grants are only to be used to implement the project.  The use of grant funds must be directly related to the needs of a project, such as supplies, space or equipment rentals, etc.  Funds may not be used for expenditures that primarily benefit the winning student, such as stipends, travel or tuition.

How can I apply for a CASE grant?

After you register on ServiceBook, you will see a link at the top: Apply for CASE.  Follow that link to the application. Be sure to select your school or assocation host from the drop-down list. If your school is not a CASE host and not a member of a CASE host association, you may apply for the online ServiceBook Monthly open competition by selecting that option in the host list on the application page.
