The RISE —Renewal through Innovative Student Evangelization —Awards application period is open through Jan. 15 for Catholic campus ministries on college campuses.
Schools can receive up to $50,000 for evangelization and outreach initiatives on their campus.
This is the third year the Associates of St. John Bosco have offered this award. Last year was the first time the award welcomed national applications, with finalists pitching their ideas at a conference to a panel of judges. Five ministries received nearly $50,000 in awards to fund their initiatives for the 2026-27 academic year.
“We have seen a huge response and enthusiasm for creative campus evangelization, and are excited for another round of applications,” Danielle Zuccaro, executive director of ASJB, said in a press release. “We encourage any campus ministry with a new and creative idea to apply, so that, together, we can reach many young souls for Christ.”
The 2027-28 academic year application asks colleges and universities to create a project that ministers to either freshmen, fallen-away Catholics, unaffiliated or disaffiliated people of faith, athletes or another demographic. Submissions must include a project plan, comprehensive budget and a five- to 10-minute video.
