SMSA Funding Applications
For Individual Student Initiatives
The following two opportunities are ways for individual students to receive funding to support extracurricular activities. Email the SMSA Treasurer if you have any questions.
1) SPIF Application
*Applications accepted on a rolling basis until all SPIF funding has been disbursed.
If you are starting a new group or have group/individual project funding needs that arise after the Annual Funding cycle is over, please complete a Student Projects and Initiatives Funding (SPIF) Application and submit it to the SMSA Treasurer. Note that the SPIF budget is much smaller than the annual funding budget, so requests should not exceed $1000. Since SPIF awards are granted on a rolling basis throughout the year, it is possible that applications submitted late in the academic year might not be fully funded.
2) Individual Research Conference Travel
*Applications accepted on a rolling basis until all travel funding has been disbursed.
SMSA will reimburse half of an individual's research conference travel costs up to $200. All receipts must be submitted within 2 months of completing travel or you WILL NOT get reimbursed.
Prior to submitting an SMSA individual research travel request, you must request support from:
1) Your Research Advisor.
2) Your Scholarly Concentration. Contact the SC Director to request up to $500 of research travel subsidy per year.
