How many semesters can I participate?
You can participate in as many semesters you are enrolled as BYU graduate student. However, you can only receive credit for two semesters (3.0 credits).
How is Grantwell structured?
Grantwell’s internal organization is broken down into several levels: board of directors, executive team, project teams, and a faculty advisor. The board helps inform the long-term strategy and policies of Grantwell. The executive team consists of four student members: executive director, experience director, partnerships director, and marketing director. Working together with the faculty advisor, the executive team oversees Grantwell’s daily and project-level operations. Project teams are composed of Senior Project Officers who lead groups of Grantwell students to accomplish specific client projects. Our faculty advisor directs and advises the Grantwell organization and acts as a liaison between the university and the Grantwell organization.
Do I get to decide which project I work on?
The executive team will assign you to a project based on your identified preferences.
Are the projects only nonprofit?
Grantwell seeks to provide projects that will be of interest to more than nonprofit management students. In the past, some of these projects have included working with local governments, healthcare organizations, or corporations.
