Project Pericles assists students, faculty, staff and their organizations in developing community service projects, with particular interest in those involving advocacy and/or grassroots community activism. Whether for an internship or group project, any Wagner college student, staff member, faculty, class or organization is eligible to apply for these grants.

While each project may contain a different approach to these points, each applicant is required to address them when planning their projects. The application form also requires a cover sheet and, when possible, supporting letters from a community associate or faculty advisor.
