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.
