Fall 2012
The project review committee received 11 applications for GSEF funding this term. At our first meeting, two of these applications were rejected – one group had received GSEF funding in previous terms for similar or identical projects/events, while the other rejected application did not have enough detail to be considered. Shortly after our meeting, another project applicant withdrew from the competition.
The committee collected further information from the remaining project applicants and conducted site visits where required. Based on these additional details, the committee chose to reject one application and voted to recommend funding for seven projects this term.
