The Activity Grant-in-Aid Program for 2008-2009 is designed to
reward students who have made positive contributions to the
University through active involvement in student organizations and
leadership.
Helpful Hints About Activity Grant-in-Aid
(AGIA):
- All full-time matriculated undergraduate students, in good
academic standing who will be holding an appointed or elected
office during the upcoming year are eligible.
- Applications are typically due by the first week of May for the
upcoming year.
- The entire application packet, including a Leadership Portfolio
and essay must be typed and submitted by the deadline.
Applicants will be reviewed by a committee
according to the following criteria:
- Leadership activities and responsibilities.
- Individual achievements and goals.
- The ability to organize a effective essay.
* It is important to note that a student
leader's position does not guarantee them a grant. The student's
application is reviewed, not the position.
The Activity Grant-in-Aid application process has been designed
to mirror the art of resume writing. As involved student leaders on
campus, our goal is to help you begin thinking about your career
goals and how to present the skills and achievements you have
learned at St. John's. Applicants are strongly encouraged to
consider this process a professional application, deserving of the
same sense of urgency as an application for a job.
