Selection Process

Curricular and Co-Curricular Grants are awarded by an Adjudication Committee, comprised of representatives from faculty, students, and staff. The selection criteria are:

•Projects offer students opportunities to develop leadership abilities, particularly initiative, collaboration, and innovation.
•Projects include opportunities for shared learning and community service. This may involve methods such as public events, support for social causes, and communication of project-related information through web sites, videos, or other media.
•Projects involve student initiative. This can be demonstrated by ensuring that students are involved in developing, planning, and implementing the project.
•Projects have merit and are workable.
•Priority is given to new applicants and new ideas. Repeat applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
•Priority is given to projects that are pervasive.
•Priority is given to projects that benefit many students. Curricular and Co-Curricular grants may be used to cover expenses related to leadership development projects, such as travel, photocopying, food, stipends, and other costs. This does not usually include wages or equipment purchase, although exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Adjudication Committee.

Guidelines for Conference-Related Projects

Many applications for curricular and co-curricular funds involve conference-related projects. Such projects are funded by Leadership Mount Allison only when they offer opportunities for leadership development among students. Priority is given to projects with the following features:

•The content of the conference has particular relevance to leadership development.
•The project includes significant student involvement in developing and planning the project.
•The conference includes presentations by students.
•The project includes opportunities for sharing the experience with others, after the event, by presenting the conference information to a Mount Allison or non-university group, using methods such as public events, publications, or creation of web sites.
•The project involves additional funding sponsors, such as departmental funds, fund-raising initiatives, or self-funded components.
