The Tiffany Marie Souers Community Service Mini-Grant Program was established by family, friends and Kappa Kappa Gamma sisters to honor her life and to celebrate her service to the community.  Awards will be given out each semester to support service projects undertaken by Clemson University students which benefit the Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens County area.

Who should apply for a Tiffany Marie Souers Community Service Mini-Grant?

Student organizations and classes are encouraged to apply for funding to support their new or existing service projects.  Individual students may also apply, but preference will be given to applications which involve more than one student.  Faculty and staff are not eligible to apply.
