Proposals

Proposals

There are three categories of WEEF Proposals. These categories are used to roughly divide proposals to be more effectively evaluated at Funding Council. These categories are:

• Academic (related to a course)
• Student Team (you are part of a student run team)
• Miscellaneous (any other group)

If you are unsure as to which category please contact the WEEF Director.

When submitting a proposal please keep the following points in mind:

• A concise proposal is more effective and also more likely to be read in its entirety by the Funding Council.
• It is greatly appreciated if you provide options for various levels of partial funding. This does not lessen your chances of obtaining full funding.
• Padded proposals such as requesting an unrealistic or unnecessary amount are not well received by the Funding Council.
• Please consult previous proposals for more guidance.

Here is how you can submit a proposal:

• Consult the funding guidelines for information regarding what should and should not be requested from WEEF.
• To submit a proposal, fill out the online application form found in the proposal submission tab.
• Fill in the online application using the guide to online proposal submission (PDF).
• After you submit your proposal online, please select a presentation time on the form confirmation page. The presentation dates can be found in the important dates section.
• Give a three minute presentation/Q&A session for the Funding Council at the presentations meeting.

Thank you for your interest in submitting a WEEF Proposal!
