Beyond UC Davis
Microgrants from the Sportula
If you are a Classics undergraduate in need of some short-term financial assistance, the Sportula can help. They provide microgrants – petty cash ranging from $5 to $300, no questions asked – to Classics undergrads who need it. They can also work to find you larger amounts of money and/or connect you with mentorship for non-monetary needs.
