The fund was designed by an alum's family to allow students to explore opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach due to funding issues. These include: Attending a conference, going to a networking event, taking an unpaid or a limited paid internship or creating a research or public awareness campaign around sustainability

Since the start of the fund in Fall 2015, the Delongchamp Fund Grant Committee has awarded 14 students nearly $10,000 in awards. Students have attended conferences in 6 different states and 2 foreign countries.
