Metz Grant applications due for student groups

IU Student Foundation and IU Foundation are now accepting applications for the fall Metz Grant.

The $50,000 grant will be given in two parts during the academic year — $25,000 each semester — to student organizations around campus doing philanthropic work.

Organizations can apply for up to $5,000, and applicants will be chosen by a committee of IUSF members, staff and the IU Foundation’s Board of Associates.

Applications are available on the IUSF website, www.iusf.indiana.edu.

The deadline for all applications is 4 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Wilcox House, 1606 N. Fee Lane.

There are five categories for which each applicant can register: IU campus diversity, local, state, national and international.

This is the sixth year for the Metz Grant, which is funded by the Arthur R. Metz Philanthropic Opportunity Fund.

Arthur R. Metz, an IU alumnus and philanthropist, originally created the grant to help medical students in 1948.
