To be eligible, students must pay their dues ($25 per academic year) and be an active member, attending activities and events. A maximum of $50.00 may be awarded to individuals not presenting and a maximum of $100.00 may be awarded to those presenting. No more than $100.00 may be awarded per student per semester. If funds cannot match demand, priority for spring funds will be given to students who did not receive funding in the fall semester.
