Proposal Prep & Submission
Overview
If you have a bright idea for 91tvӰԺ energy efficiency, the first step is to do some preliminary research, find a potential faculty or 91tvӰԺ department sponsor (if needed), and then complete a brief online. The scope of the project and the amount of the grant requested will determine the need for a formal proposal and the extent of the review process.
If you are required to submit a proposal, make sure it complies with the Student Green Energy Fund (SGEF) criteria.
Funding Levels
- Fast Track Mini-Grant: Less than $5,000 requested - requires the completion of a Project Summary form (click on flowchart above for instructions on page 2); projects submitted do not necessarily have to result in greenhouse emissions reduction but can be eco-friendly green projects or awareness initiatives
- Competitive Grant: Greater than $5000 requested - requires the completion of a Project Summary form then a formal proposal.
Eligibility
All currently enrolled students and current employees of the 91tvӰԺ Tampa campus may submit one or more proposals to use SGEF funds. Proposals can originate from individuals, groups, and formal and informal bodies at 91tvӰԺ.
Fund Awards
It is anticipated that most awards will not exceed $100,000, unless exceptional circumstances require additional funding. There is no limit to the number of awards, and the SGEF Council will decide on proposals based on the availability of funds. The council reserves the right not to fund applications and make no awards if they believe the proposals do not satisfy the criteria for funding.
Submissions
and formal proposals, if required, may be submitted during Fall and Spring semesters for funding consideration.
If you are requested by SGEF to submit a formal proposal, gather all necessary documents (provided on the Submission page) and save them in one place for ease of upload. Next, submit your full proposal by completing the thoroughly.
