The Student Sections Committee (SSC) is excited to support a biannual $500 microgrant award aimed at New and Restarting Student Sections (NRS). This initiative is designed to support new and restarting sections that demonstrate need,* in hosting new or expanded events. Funds should go towards events that strengthen and build your section's day-to-day operations in a self-sustaining way.
* Need, in the context of this award, refers to the demonstrable and critical requirement of financial support for a student section that is either in its nascent stage or re-establishing (in flux or dormant). It encompasses the essential funding necessary to initiate or propel the section's event, pivotal for their growth, fostering engagement, and sustaining their presence within the academic community.
Eligibility
New Sections: Defined as sections within five (5) years of the appointment of their first board.
Restarting Sections: Defined as sections that have been dormant or inactive within the last three (3) years and are now resuming activities, per the society’s Rule 19.1.
Purpose
This microgrant is intended to support the internal development of student sections, aiding in community-building activities rather than replacing existing grants. It cannot be used for travel to conferences. Potential uses include:
Application Requirements
Funding Details
Application Process
Reporting Requirements
Winning student sections must submit a summary report detailing the use of awarded funds. Failure to provide this report will result in disqualification from the upcoming award cycle. The SSC will monitor the impact of the financial assistance on the chapter’s growth and sustainability.
This microgrant offers new and restarting chapters the opportunity to grow into self-sustaining entities, fostering a healthier and stronger student presence within the society. We look forward to supporting the innovative ideas and community-building efforts of our student chapters!
