The Honor Committee seeks to promote positive interactions between students involved with Honor and students from all areas of the University. To this end, the Committee has made available funding for cosponsored events. These events fall loosely into four main categories (Cultural; Educational/Academic; Social; and Other). Additionally, the Honor Committee may be able to offer aid in planning, advertising, staffing, and/or executing events and believes that this sort of collaboration is especially beneficial for everyone involved.The goals of the Honor Committee’s co-sponsorship program include:
The following guidelines are intended to assist you in your completion of the Co-Sponsorship Request Form on the next page of this webform. For a physical, printed copy of the request form, please email the Vice Chair for Operations, Thomas Ackleson ([email protected]).
There is a roughly two-week lead time for approving applications and delivering checks.Please submit this Co-Sponsorship Request Form at least 14 days before the event/initiative start date. Your submission should demonstrate that you have planned and budgeted appropriately. Please also include an itemized budget of costs and income as an attachment to the Form. Further explanation and guidance for successfully completing the form can be found below.
In consultation with the Honor Committee Chair, the VCO will evaluate your funding application based on whether it effectively meets at least two or more of the Committee’s Co-Sponsorship program goals, as outlined above.
If your funding request is approved, you will be notified via email of the amount approved.
The typical maximum amount for direct funding is $500 per event. However, co-sponsorships that exceed $500 will be considered for deserving applications (large events, aims closely aligned with Honor, etc.)
Co-sponsorships are event-specific and may only be used to pay for pre-approved expenses for that event. Funds may not be used for ongoing operating expenses. Please note that there should be no expectation of continued or recurring funding for any specific event or type of event, regardless of its relative merit or success. A new application must be made for each event, and there may be different outcomes for similar proposals from semester to semester or year to year, depending on a number of considerations.
You can submit supplemental materials to help us evaluate the program or event. Examples of useful supplemental materials may include:

Evan will notify the contact provided on the Co-Sponsorship Request Form when the check is available for pick-up.

The goals of the Honor Committee’s co-sponsorship program include:
To facilitate positive interaction between Honor and various students around Grounds
To improve and create new relationships between the Honor Committee and other students or student organizations, especially those who are traditionally underrepresented
To increase the awareness of the benefits of the Honor System and the various policies and procedures of the Honor Committee
To increase the awareness of ways to get involved with the Honor System
To support and promote the endeavors of the University’s diverse student body to foster a united Community of Trust, by emphasizing community members’ shared ideals
After reviewing these Co-Sponsorship Guidelines, please contact the Honor Committee’s Vice Chair for Graduate Community (VCGC), Tyler Sesker ([email protected]), at least 7 days to the event to discuss how the Honor Committee can support your organization’s event or initiative. If the request is received within 7 days of the event, the request will not be considered. The VCGC may reach out for additional information or request an in-person (or virtual) meeting to evaluate best how to build an effective partnership. If your co-sponsorship request includes a request for funds, please complete the following Co-Sponsorship Request Form. The Co-Sponsorship Request Form can be found on the next page of this document. Your Co-Sponsorship Request Form should demonstrate that you have planned and budgeted appropriately. Please also include an itemized budget of costs and income as an attachment to the Co-Sponsorship Request Form. Further explanation and guidance for successfully completing the request form can be found below. Our goal is to build a deeper relationship between your organization and the Honor Committee. If you would like for Honor to provide an education presentation or facilitate a group discussion, please provide your organization’s General Body meeting times. If you think there would be a more appropriate way for Honor to present to or interact with your organization, please express your desire for an alternative arrangement to the VCGC. The VCGC, in consultation with the Honor Committee Chair, will evaluate your funding application based on whether it effectively meets at least two or more of the Committee’s Co-Sponsorship program goals, as outlined above.
