Homecoming Grant Competition Deadline

Proposals are now being accepted for the 2023 NIU Huskie Pride 116^th Homecoming Grant Competition.

Do you have an idea for a homecoming event that you would like to see on campus, or want to enhance an existing homecoming event? The Homecoming Executive Committee invites all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to submit formal proposals for review! Homecoming will be October 8-15, 2023.

Proposals will be selected, and awarded up to $500 each, based on need and available funding. Whether you are submitting individually or with others, your formal proposal needs to include the following items:

• Identify whether the event is a new or an existing homecoming event.
• Explanation of what the event or project is and how your idea promotes Huskie pride during homecoming (500 words maximum).
• Detailed budget, breaking down how the money will be disbursed (500 words maximum).

Homecoming is about celebrating NIU pride and coming together as a Huskie community. Special consideration will be given to proposals that engage new partners, create new collaborations, and provide the foundation for projects that will promote Huskie pride throughout the year.

Once you have completed your proposal, you can submit it here. The deadline to submit your material is Friday, April 14, 2023.
