Guidelines
for Students
Expenses incurred
while completing a Winter Term project normally are the responsibility
of the student or students working on that project. However,
the Winter Term Committee awards a limited number of grants
each year in support of both individual and group projects
(see
Winter Term Calendar
for deadlines). The Winter Term Committee evaluates applications
and awards grants on the basis of the educational value of
the proposed projects.
Individual Project Grants for Students. The
Winter Term
Committee annually
awards a limited number of grants
for individual student projects. The range for each grant
will be $200-$400. Awards are highly competitive and
are based on the quality of the student's proposal.
Guidelines for writing
grant applications are listed below.
Individual Project Grant Application forms are available on
this website.
Grant Proposal Guidelines for Students
(Individual Projects)
1. Grant proposals must include a copy of a student’s
Individual Project
Proposal, signed by the project sponsor. The project
must be truly individual--that is, not part of a group project.
2. Itemize the budget for the project. Include all anticipated
expenses, not only items for which support is requested.
3. Priority will be given to individual grant proposals that
request funds to defray such unusual expenses as fees for
renting equipment or costs of special materials to complete
the project. Requests for support of travel costs will also
be considered.
4. An individual grant may not be applied to customary tuition
costs, such as for student-taught secondary applied music
lessons.
5. Criteria for evaluating grant proposals include:
• the educational goals of the project
• what the project entails
• who will be working on it in addition to the proposer
(if applicable)
• the time commitment expected
• what the end product will be.
6. Individual grants are not disbursed in advance. Project
expenses (up to the amount of the grant) are reimbursed only
after the project has been completed and the required two-part
Final Winter Term Grant Report with original receipts has
been turned in to the Winter Term Office. Please do not submit
receipts to the Controller’s Office.
7. All materials submitted as part of a Winter Term Grant
proposal must be typed. Ten copies are to be turned
into the Winter Term Office by the deadline listed on the
Winter Term calendar.
