HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED UNLESS THEY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

1. PROPOSAL SUMMARY SHEET - by submitting this form
Include name, position, two-sentence summary of proposal and amount requested. Check the fiscal year for which funds have been requested. Funds for each fiscal year become available after July 1 and must be spent by June 30.

(a) IF YOU ARE A STUDENT
You must consult with a faculty sponsor. Include his/her name and position on the Proposal Summary form and obtain his/her signature on the proposal authorization form (.pdf).

(b) IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR COMPUTER, VIDEO or OTHER TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT or for an event which will occur during All School Meeting
Your proposal and budget must be approved by the appropriate people (the Director of Technology/Support Service or the All School Meeting Committee.) Click here for the proposal authorization form (.pdf).

Please submit all authorization forms to the Dean of Studies Office.

2. ATTACH to this form a CONCISE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
A type-written statement not exceeding three pages should include the following information:
(a) The goals of the project and how they will be achieved; (b) A brief background statement (how did the idea for the proposal develop); (c) The impact of the project (those who will benefit: faculty, department, entire student body, students of a particular department, parents, administration, other); (d) If the proposal is for an on-going program, state where you will apply for future funding; (e) As requests usually exceed available funds, please state whether your project could begin with partial funding and indicate which parts of the project need immediate support.

3. INCLUDE A DETAILED BUDGET BREAKDOWN
Itemize the amount you will be spending on individual salaries, materials, honoraria, and/or equipment. Wherever possible, provide a precise figure instead of an estimate.

if you want to purchase a piece of equipment, find out how much it costs;
if you want to bring a speaker to campus, check to see how much he or she will charge;
if salaries are part of your budget, itemize them by individual, showing hourly rate and number of hours.

Note: funds used for a personal stipend are subject to taxes. If you are applying for a stipend for work done, the rate is $800 per week. You must add 18% or $144/week for benefits to this amount. Funds for expenses (purchases of materials, travels, fees, etc.) are not taxed.

Please note that we fund faculty and staff salaries at the same level as the summer school, and cannot fund student salaries at all. Do not over-estimate your budget. You must spend funds within the fiscal year for which they are requested. If you receive a grant and do not spend the entire amount, you have tied up funds that could have gone to someone else.

If you have questions about your grant proposal or proposal idea, please contact Natalie Schorr.

If you encounter any problems with this form, please contact Tish Bouldin.

If you prefer to submit your proposal with the traditional hard copy format, please click here for the required summary sheet. Please submit 2 copies of your proposal by the due date (top of form) to the Dean of Studies Office.
