The 2022 WKU Sisterhood grant application is now available. Applications may be downloaded at the WKU Sisterhood website, and completed applications must be submitted electronically by 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022.

The WKU Sisterhood is a group of WKU women (alumnae, friends, students, faculty and staff) who have made a gift of $1,000 or more to fund University projects that will be selected by members of the organization at their annual meeting in November. The WKU Sisterhood is proud to announce that a minimum of $80,000 will be available for distribution, and we invite WKU-affiliated projects to apply.

The WKU Sisterhood grant offers two tiers of grant levels for our campus community. The Sisterhood will award one or more Impact Grants for larger undertakings and up to four Small But Mighty Grants for more modest projects. Applicants for Impact Grants must request a minimum of $20,000 in funding. Applicants for a Small But Mighty Grant may request up to a maximum of $10,000.
