Application

Please submit this online Enrichment Award Application at least four weeks prior to your activity.

Application Materials

We recommend you assemble the following application materials before you start work on the form.

  • Verification that you will be engaging in the activity. This could be a letter of acceptance to a study abroad, volunteer or service program, a letter of offer for an internship, a letter from a research mentor, or conference registration confirmation.
  • Documentation That clearly indicates the costs associated with the activity. These could be fee estimates for your study abroad program, paid registration receipt for a conference, airfare receipts or screenshots of estimates, or price lists for supplies.
  • Budget Please see the budget page for more detailed information about how to create one.

Disbursement of Funds

Once your application is approved, you will receive an email with the details, terms, and conditions of the award. You will then need to go back into the system and accept the award. Once you do so, we will send a request to the Office of Student Financial Aid Services for the amount that you requested. Once approved, this will be sent to the Bursar’s Office, which will apply the award amount to your fee bill account. Then, the Bursar will automatically send the amount to you via direct deposit (or a mailed check if you do not use direct deposit). Please note that the funds will be dispersed in the semester in which you engage in the activity. If you apply in the Fall semester, for example, for an activity that will take place in the following Spring semester, the funds will be allocated in mid-January. Funds for a summer activity will be deposited in mid to late April.

Please see the FAQ for questions about reimbursement.
