Activity Grant-in-aid (AGIA)
What is Activity Grant-In-Aid?
The Activity Grant-in-Aid (AGIA) Program was designed to reward students who have made positive contributions to the University through student organizations and leadership.
Eligibility to apply:
- Students who have been appointed or elected to a Top 4 Executive Board position (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) for the next academic year can apply.
*Please note that a co-president position, and other Executive Board Positions, and/or committee chair positions are NOT eligible for AGIA* - Students must be full-time, matriculated undergraduates in good disciplinary and academic standing (minimum 2.75 GPA).
- Students cannot hold more than 2 Top 4 Executive Board positions in an academic year and can lose the grant if they leave the position early.
Application Process & Criteria
Application criteria includes:
- Student Organization activities and responsibilities
- Individual achievement and goals
- The ability to organize an effective essay
- It is important to note that a student leader’s position does not guarantee them a grant.
The student application is reviewed, not the position.
The following AGIA Information Session is a required part of the Activity Grant-In-Aid process.
*Monday, April 27, 2026: 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in DAC 206
IMPORTANT: Students interested in applying for Activity Grant-In-Aid MUST attend the AGIA information session. Participating in this workshop is not the only requirement for this grant process.
**If you are studying abroad during the spring semester, and are interested in applying for AGIA, you must contact Natalie Storelli prior to the Information Session date at storelln@stjohns.edu to be eligible**
The Activity Grant-In-Aid (AGIA) application process has been designed to mirror the art of resume writing. As involved student leaders on campus, our goal is to help you begin thinking about your career goals and how to present the skills and achievements you have learned at St. John’s University. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consider this process as a professional application, deserving of the same sense of urgency as an application for a job. Note: The criteria to apply is subject to change.
