Term Funding

Term Funding is the primary way which the Engineering Leadership Council funds clubs. There are two Funding Terms (Fall and Spring) with corresponding funding hearings (September and January). A Funding Request is heard by the Funding Committee and is placed into one of the Grades below.

Grade 1a: Competition & Conference Travel

• This grade consists of all relevant costs of attending a competition or conference, such as but not limited to: registrations, flights, hotels, and/or rental cars. It is typical that we will fund the balance for ASUN Travel requests as well as things that ASUN does not cover that still follows ELC restrictions.
• For competitions and conferences larger than 10 people per club attending, the club must submit a list of roles showing what people will be doing at that event.
• The First Round cap for this grade is $3,750
  

Grade 1b: National Competition Travel

• This grade consists of all relevant costs of attending a competition in which a team had to first qualify through a regional competition.
• The First Round cap for this grade is $3,125

Fringe Funding

Fringe Funding is money that each club receives to spend on what they find most necessary. Undergraduate clubs receive $250 per year and Graduate clubs receive $500 per year. Fringe Funding must be allocated by the spring funding application deadline. To apply for Fringe Funding fill out the form at: Fringe Request.

Emergency Funding

Emergency Funding is funding that is required because of events outside of the control of the club applying. It will not be approved for cases of negligence. An example of valid requests are changes in conference registration. To apply for Emergency Funding fill out the form at: Funding Request.

Receipt Submission

Receipts must be submitted for the amount of money requested. Any leftover money must be transferred to the ELC's ASUN account. Receipts can be submitted through the form here.
