MEISA Grants are not intended to be
the only source of funding and chapters are encouraged to pursue other
sources of funding as a supplement to a grant award. MEISA Grants
may only be used to fund MEISA organized and sponsored events and must
be used as stated in the grant request and approved by the MEIEA Grant
Program Committee (substantive changes to the approved program must be
submitted and approved by the committee).
Application and Award Process:
MEISA Grants are awarded twice during the academic year. The deadline for fall grant awards is the second Monday of September. The deadline for spring grant awards is the second Monday of January. Awards may be used during the semester awarded or may be used, if so specified in the application, in the following semester as appropriate. Therefore, a Fall award may be used in the following spring semester and a Spring award may be used in the following summer and/or fall semesters provided the intended time of use is specified in the grant proposal. Each MEISA chapter is only allowed to submit one application per semester.
The MEIEA Student Association Grant Program Committee will review applications immediately following the deadline of each academic year. MEISA chapter faculty advisors will be notified upon decision of the Grant Program Committee. Allocation decisions will be made within 14 business days of the application deadline.
Upon acceptance of an award, the receiving chapter must include acknowledgment of the award on all promotional material, programs, banners, advertisements, etc., associated with the award (e.g., “This event is supported in part by a grant from MEIEA”). All receiving chapters must submit an online accounting report of how the award was used within 2 weeks of the close date assigned to the award. All programs receiving grant awards will be listed on the MEIEA and MEISA websites and promoted in MEIEA and MEISA publications.
Spring 2010 applications are currently under review. Applications for fall 2010 will be open soon.
