BUDGET PROPOSAL FORM - Hamilton College Student Assembly

2011-2012 v2.0

Please review the following funding guidelines before submitting your proposal:

Travel Funding:

Travel Funding is separated into two separate groups:

  • Travel UNDER 100 Miles (Round Trip)
  • Travel OVER 101 Miles (Round Trip)

Travel UNDER 100 Miles (Round Trip) is reimbursed via gas receipts. Please request funding in this proposal for an estimated amount you plan to spend on gas for your trip / event. (i.e. for a trip of 50 miles where your vehicle averages 10 miles per gallon: 5 gallons x $3.00 per gallon = $15.00 total gas money request) When using a college van you will be assessed a charge per mile (see below). In addition you must also request funding for Gas Money should your journey require you to refill on the road.

Travel OVER 100 Miles (Round Trip) is reimbursed according to mileage traveled at a rate of $0.55 per mile. Please request funding in this proposal for estimated mileage to be travelled (i.e. for a trip of 250 miles round trip: 250 miles x $0.55 per mile = $137.50 total mileage request). When using a college van you will be assessed a charge of $0.55 per mile driven. In addition you must also request funding for Gas Money should your journey require you to refill on the road.

For ALL Travel Funding Requests: Please submit either a Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, or Mapquest map in order to document mileage driven.

Food Funding:

Food Funding is only granted to events that BOTH:

  • Enhance the quality of the event
  • Remain open to the entire student body
