Academic Book Grant

CSAP is a student organization recognized by Purdue's Student Activities and Organizations (SAO) office and was conceived to facilitate the integral development and enrich the experience of Colombian students at Purdue University. In this direction, CSAP is offering Academic Book Grants for book purchases made by its members. The aim of these grants is to create equitable opportunities for those members of our community that, due to adverse circumstances, delay or omit the acquisition of such instruments essential for their professional development.

 

There will be up to four (4) grants, 2 in Fall 2023 and 2 in Spring 2023. Each grant will cover up to $200 USD. These funds can be used by the student to cover expenses related to the purchase of paperback or electronic books, as specified by the restrictions of this grant. The recipient commits to take a picture with your book and share it with CSAP for social media.

​
