One of the core tenets of the Rutgers Alumni Association is to help undergraduate students and encourage involvement in the Rutgers community.  The RAA Grants & Gifts committee is comprised of Rutgers alumni who are committed to understanding student groups’ needs and provide financial assistance that will have widespread impacts on Rutgers and its surrounding community. The committee along with the entire RAA Board of Directors in interested in building relationships with student groups and is deeply committed to the students of Rutgers who will soon be fellow alumni.

Once a year, either during the fall or spring semester,  Rutgers clubs and organizations are encouraged to submit grant applications along with their proposed budgets for consideration. The groups are then invited to present their applications in person before the committee.
