At the Sillerman Center
The $5K Sillerman Prize for Innovations in Philanthropy announces winner: Darnell Wilson, Northern Kentucky University, Norse in Need
A junior at Northern Kentucky University (NKY) took the third annual Sillerman Prize for Innovations in Philanthropy on College Campuses this year. Darnell Wilson conceived of, “Norse in Need” to help fellow students in need of emergency aid to boost student retention. Developing this fund through small student donations, the project is designed to supply mini-grants of up to $250 to help students facing a possible disruption of studies. The student managed project casts a wide net for student contributions as small as $5.00 to build up the stock of resources that supply this pool of emergency aid which will be used to get a student over a hump. more
