Enter the Office of Student Life, Community Service Club Challenge Contest for the chance to win a grand prize of $1000 dollars for your Registered Club/Organization to benefit a local community service program within Merced County and win $ 500 for your RCO. (To qualify your RCO must be registered with OSL.)
Submit this application and proposal of 1000 words or less (typed and on a separate page) stating the focus of your event/program (ie. children, the homeless, single mothers, community event, etc.) as well as the purpose of the project.
