Organizational Funding

Please fill out and submit the organizational funding form below if you would like to request funding. You must complete it well in advance (3 days prior to the SCOMSA meeting before your event) of your event in order to ensure SCOMSA has time to meet and vote on your request.

SCOMSA meets once per month. Please see the SCOMSA meeting schedule to help plan out when you submit your event. SCOMSA will not be able to approve events between our monthly meetings, so take this into account when planning your event.

SCOMSA restricts funding to TWO groups per time slot. Please see the events calendar and the room reservation site to help you schedule your event appropriately. The first two groups to submit funding requests for a given lunchtime slot will get preference in funding. Any group after those two will not be funded, except in the case that a group can demonstrate very clearly that there was no other possible date for the event. Late submissions of funding requests will not be considered an adequate explanation.

Original itemized receipts must be turned into Liz Gallagher within 30 days of your event.  Receipts that are not itemized will NOT be accepted.

Organizational Funding Request Form

Please submit all forms at least 3 days prior to the SCOMSA meeting before to event.

  • SCOMSA requires that groups seek outside funding in order to be funded partially by SCOMSA. If you have sought funding from outside sources already and have not succeeded, please explain thoroughly so that your request for funding will not be delayed.

All groups are required to submit a blurb about the event after it has been held. Pictures are encouraged to be submitted with blurbs so that it can be included when SCOMSA publishes a newsletter, or posts event information to the SCOMSA website. You may submit your blurb via this website: http://www.bumc.bu.edu/scomsa/finance/required-event-blurb/

The Alumni Association has the following link as a potential source of funding for student groups outside of SCOMSA.
