Guidelines for Funding:

To apply for funding, complete the funding request in this portal. The form must be completed by a graduate student, not a faculty advisor. Once you have completed the request you will be taken to a confirmation page.

Note that your budget request should specifically declare/discuss:
•   All anticipated costs as line-itemized items
•  Total anticipated event cost
•  Current organization's available funds
•  Organization's contribution to the event
•  External contributions to the event (e.g., departments, co-sponsoring organizations)
•  Specific fundraising at/for the event
•  Intended event audience and plan for advertising open-to-the-public events
•  Number of Clemson graduate student* organization members (verified TigerQuest)
•  A record counting the number of Clemson graduate student* attendees
•  Order of preference for line-itemized cost

*This excludes undergraduate students and non-graduate student family and friends.

Additionally, note that the Finance Committee:
•  Typically, DOES fund food/beverages and venue spaces either partially or entirely.
•  DOES consider funding events that encourage organizations' financial independence.
•  DOES consider funding registration fees for professional development activities.
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund any prizes
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund speaker-related costs, as it is difficult to equate these directly to graduate students.
•  DOES NOT consider funding for community aid events, as these types of events have a separate application process.
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund "paper" products, including advertising costs (paper or electronic) or table products (plasticware, tablecloths, etcetera).
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund "transportation" costs, including gasoline and car rental.
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund "hotel" costs, as these are not directly identifiable as graduate student events.
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund the following beverage items: plastic water bottles, canned soda, two-liter soda containers, etc. (beverages that can be stored).
•  By precedent, DOES NOT fund any merchandise (for example, t-shirts).
