The deadline for application submission is December 31 for each calendar year. The information to be included in the form refers to the current year when the application is submitted.
Major Initiatives Funding
This application should be completed by the Chapter Officers.
Typical funding levels are $1,500-$2,000, and generally cannot exceed $5,000. The number of proposals accepted for funding each year, and the amount of a proposal funded varies each year depending upon budget surpluses. Funding requests over $5,000 will be voted on at one of the two AESS Board of Governors meetings.
