That was longwinded. Let’s get down to brass tacks: What can be funded?
• Alcoholic beverages • Food, except when it is a necessary and vital part of the program • T-shirts, except when vital to the program • Any “miscellaneous” amounts • Reimbursements • Airfare for non-students What if I don’t get any funding from the board I present to? If you are 100% rejected—as in, you receive zero funding from a board—then you can apply to a different funding board, just as long as you’re still meeting all deadlines. Our recommendation: don’t wait until 4 weeks before the event to apply for funding. If you do and you apply to a board and get rejected, you’re stuck. If you receive partial funding from one of the programming fee funding boards, you can’t receive any other funding from another programming fee funding board. Let’s get technical—what do “P.O.” and “I.R” stand for? P.O. stands for “purchase order,” which is a method by which we pay vendors. It is not a check, but rather a sort of official promise to pay the vendor once the original invoice has been mailed
