Purpose

The mission of the UCI Division of Career Pathways is to educate and engage students and alumni to realize their career potential. We do this by providing tools and support to attain their career goals. We also coordinate with the campus community in the professional development of students. To assist in this effort, we offer a mini grant process that may provide up to $200 in funding for offically registered UCI student organizations.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a mini grant, you must complete the following:

  • Must be a registered campus student organization
  • One member of the board must attend Career Conversations Training for student leaders
  • Only one mini-grant will be funded per organization per academic year
  • Your program must have a demonstrated relationship to Career Pathways' mission and be open to all students regardless of membership
    • Note: Funds cannot be used for alcoholic beverages, awards/trophies, conference fees, fundraisers, off-campus events, retreats, reunion events, security, summer events or programs, travel, speaker gifts, student club promotional materials (aka "swag"), or career fairs

Sample Projects

  • Host an employer guest speaker on campus and provide parking to the employer/guest speaker and food to all attendees
