Parent Leadership Council
2016 Grant Program Overview
The Parent Leadership Council has generated a fund that is available to recognize student organizations
and university sanctioned activities to enrich, maintain, and expand programs that benefit students on the MU
campus. This fund has been designed to encourage, facilitate, recognize, and reward the innovative endeavors
of student organizations, academic departments, and student support services.
Through an application process, the council grants money to groups within the university whose
activities benefit large numbers of students. The money is used for activities, projects and equipment to enhance
the curricular and extracurricular experiences of students. All grant applications submitted will be reviewed by
the Parent Leadership Council. Projects may be funded in total, partially or denied. All applicants will be
notified the status of their application, regardless of decision.
Please e-mail completed grant applications to parents@missouri.edu no later than Friday,
December 11, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. Please note that hard copy applications will not be accepted. For
questions, please contact Leslie Gale in the Office of Parent Relations at 884-9933 or galel@missouri.edu.
