Global Green Grant Application

As part of Temple University Education Abroad’s commitment to helping students become global citizens and reducing the impact and carbon footprint of education abroad, we encourage students to apply for grants of up to $500, which will support student efforts focused on sustainability during their time abroad. These grants are co-sponsored by Temple University’s Office of Sustainability. All students studying abroad on Temple-run programs (both Temple and non-Temple students) are eligible to apply for this grant. For the Fall 2023 semester, the grants are open to Temple Rome, Japan and Spain only.
