EDS Chapter Subsidies for 2003

 

---

Requests for subsidies from EDS chapters are due on 1 September 2002. Last year, the EDS AdCom awarded funding to 58 chapters, with most amounts primarily ranging from US$250 to US$1,000. In June, Chapter Chairs were sent an e-mail notifying them of the current funding cycle. A list of guidelines was included with each e-mail. In general, activities which are considered fundable include, but are not limited to, membership promotion travel allowances for invited speakers to chapter events, and support for student activities at local institutions. Subsidy requests should be sent via e-mail, fax or mail to the EDS Administrator, Laura J. Riello. Her contact information is the same as W.F. Van Der Vortís, included on page 2. Prior to the submission of the subsidy request, the Chapter Chair must submit a chapter activity report to its respective SRC Chair and EDS Newsletter Editor by July 1. This report should include a general summary of chapter activities (one to two pages) for the prior July 1st –June 30th period. You must also attach a copy of the activity report to your chapter subsidy request. Final decisions concerning subsidies will be made by the EDS Regions/Chapters Committee in early November. Subsidy checks will be issued by late January.
