Submitting Proposals

Guidelines

• Proposals must come from Caltech undergraduate students, either individual students or groups of students.
• Proposals may be submitted anytime, with funding decisions made four times per year.
• Award decisions will be made by a committee constituted by the Undergraduate Deans. The committee, with the Associate Dean as Chair, will be comprised of five members, including the Associate Dean and at least three undergraduate students and one faculty member apart from the Dean.
• The Fund may not be used to replace existing funding.

Proposals can be submitted any time. The committee will make funding decisions four times per year, and submission deadlines for the committee meetings are Add Day of each term and the third Friday in July.

A proposal requesting funding for a specific starting date may be submitted for consideration under any of the prior deadlines. Thus funding for travel in June could be requested in a proposal submitted in January, in time for the post-Add Day January meeting of the committee.

Proposals should be typed and should follow the guidelines. Download the Proposal Guidelines
