The 2023 WKU Sisterhood grant application is now available. Applications may be accessed at the WKU Sisterhood website, and completed applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023.

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. Since its inception, the WKU Sisterhood has provided more than half a million dollars of support across the WKU community.

The WKU Sisterhood offers two tiers of grant levels for WKU-affiliated projects. 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 $10,001 in funding. Applicants for a Small But Mighty Grant may request up to a maximum of $10,000.
