The Wellbeing Framework

The Wellbeing Innovation Seed Grant focuses on innovative ideas or initiatives that promote the holistic wellbeing of students at Boston University (BU). Student Wellbeing uses a framework of seven interconnected dimensions that supports holistic wellbeing, describing it as an active, lifelong process of learning what makes you feel balanced and well in all areas of your life.

Ideas are assessed based on innovation, reach, need and feasibility to implement. Read more about each of the seven dimensions below!
