UCSB Funds Indigenous Environmental Projects | Santa Barbara News

UC Santa Barbara just launched the Kenneth Robert Lincoln Indigenous Environmental Projects Fund — a game-changer for students blending Indigenous knowledge with environmental action. Offering up to $1,000 grants to ELI program participants, it empowers undergrads to turn classroom ideas into real-world solutions that benefit communities. Named after pioneering scholar and Oglala Sioux adoptee Kenneth Robert Lincoln, whose daughter helped shape the incubator, this fund fills a critical gap. Past projects like native plant gardens and bilingual signage prove its impact. If you’re a UCSB freshman ready to make change, applications are open now for next year’s ELI cohort.
