Community Engagement Grants Scheme

Supporting the University’s engagement with the communities it serves

The Community Engagement Grants Scheme (CEGS) is an annual grants scheme designed to encourage and support research, educational or outreach projects which enhance the University’s engagement with the communities it serves.

The scheme provides funding to UOW staff and students for projects that are predominately service-orientated, consistent with the University’s Community Engagement Plan 2008-10 and have a clear community benefit.

Established in 2005, approximately $170,000 has been awarded to 23 projects, resulting in strong community outcomes such as reading resources for community language schools and the first comprehensive report on needs of children with disabilities in the region.

Each year approximately $50,000 is awarded to community groups, with $5,000 specifically set aside for student group applications.

Application Process

Expressions of interest are invited at the start of each year and awarded in August. Detailed selection criteria and information regarding submission can be found in the separate Community Engagement Grants Scheme Guidelines below.
