The Shelby Jane Seyburn Foundation Travel Grant was founded by the family and friends of Shelby Seyburn and the students and staff of Oakland University to honor the memory of Shelby, a 2017 Oakland University honors graduate, who lost her life in a car accident in 2017.
Starting in 2018, the Foundation provided grants to 6 students totaling $4,000.00 for its first year of operations. For 2019 we have plans to double the budget, expand into fall and winter conferences and hope to provide double the grants.
In 2019 we gave out 13 grants totaling $3,800.00, and we plan on doubling that total before the end of this year.
