The Application Process
At the time of submission, all SAMI proposals MUST be in the following format:
- Applicants must apply for SAMI funding via SAMI web site. Paper applications will not be accepted.
- A description of the academic multicultural component
- This is the most important criteria and should be addressed separately
- How event/project is both academic AND multicultural
- Connection to SAMI's purpose and criteria
- A summary of the proposal
- Brief background on you or your student organization
- Very specific description on the details of proposed event/project
- Qualifications of guest speaker/performer
- Contribution to the campus community
- An itemized budget of expenses and other sources of funding
- Include costs of facilities, speaker/honorarium fees, equipment and supplies, advertisement, transportation, and all other related costs
- Other sources of funding - approved and pending
- Faculty/Staff Endorsement
- In order to foster positive academic relationships between faculty & staff and students, particularly undergraduates, SAMI requires all student applicants to first seek endorsement of events from faculty & staff members.
- The recommenders will give their endorsements based on their belief that the project/event has both academic and multicultural significance.
- Students are responsible for contacting recommenders and making them aware of the link to the recommender endorsement.
- Recommenders, please click here to give your endorsement.
