Please Note: Application submissions that require ongoing funding or maintenance must be endorsed by the budget manager or department chair that agrees to fund or maintain the purchased item in order for this submission to be considered by the Beverage Committee. Items are purchased through the Student Affairs Office, the committee will not refund or reimburse items already purchased by departments, clubs or organizations.
Criteria Used to Consider Funding Requests
The committee invites proposals for durable goods with a life cycle of at least three years that will affect a significant portion of the university community. Projects or proposals must enhance the student experience.
If the request is partially funded, and the balance of the funds must be obtained from another source, then the additional funds must be raised within a stated period of time (typically one month) or the funds will be returned to the committee and reassigned to another project.
The committee will not fund anything worn by a person (e.g., uniforms, floatation suits, fencing vest/mask, robes), repairs and maintenance, software or applications, equipment typically leased through IRT or any items that cannot remain with the University (e.g., novelties.) All purchases made through the Beverage Committee are University property. The Beverage Committee will give preference to proposals from student clubs and organizations.
