Mini Grants

The Profs for a Purpose: Suicide Prevention Walk Mini Grants were established in 2024. The Center for Well-Being is proud to share that 100% of all proceeds from the walk support mental health and suicide prevention research, programs, training, and well-being programming for students, faculty, staff, and our community members. 

These mini-grants provide funding sources to individuals or groups who are conducting research, presentations, programming, and more with a focus on suicide prevention and mental health.

Mini Grant Application for 2026-2027

Thank you for your interest in the 2026/2027 Profs for a Purpose Mini Grant. Mini grants are funded by donations received during the Profs for a Purpose: Suicide Prevention Walk. Students, Faculty, Staff, and other Rowan community members are all eligible to apply for a grant for up to $300. Applications should focus on projects that support efforts to address mental health, mental illness, or suicide prevention through one or more of the following means:

  • Education
  • Resources
  • Belonging/Connection 
  • Research

This year, in honor of our Top Five Teams: Mental Health Warriors, Thriving Together, RLUH & Friends, Social Work in Action, Rowan Catholic Campus Ministry, we are awarding up to $3,000 in grants. The grant, however, must be dispersed via a DCA, or we must be able to purchase items for you through Rowan-approved vendors such as Amazon. Mini grants will be awarded for projects that will take place within the Fall 2026/Spring 2027 year. If awarded the grant, the expectation is that recipients send a 3-5 slide deck presentation at the conclusion of your project, event, or other, that includes your results and the impact it had on the community/group in which you were working.

Application Deadline is Friday, October 23, 2026 2026 by 4pm. 

Awards will be announced on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at Rowan's "State of Mind" Event, a program focused on Mental and Emotional Well-Being.
