Resources for Scholars
We CU offers several tools and resources to empower students to make a positive impact in the community while building their resume and enriching their university experience.
Recognition
We CU is proud to recognize students for their community-based work. All undergraduate and graduate students who complete a service project each year (~20 hours) will be recognized as We CU Community Engaged Scholars.
Students should submit their service hours by April 16, 2025, to be honored at We CU’s annual spring reception.
Mini-Grants
We CU tries to make service more accessible to University of Illinois students through mini-grants. All undergraduate and graduate students can apply for up to $199 in support each semester.
To be eligible, students must complete at least 20 hours of service with a community organization in East Central Illinois and fill out the We CU Scholar Recognition form.
We CU Team
We CU's team members are standing by to support students. We CU Scholars can reach out to the We CU Team to:
- Get support for your current project.
- Reflect on the service you've done so far.
