Student funding request guidelines
The Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics provides students an opportunity to gain experiential learning by hosting or participating in competitions and conferences. Funding is provided both from the Lang School and the Lang Students' Association with representatives from both organizations on the funding committee that reviews and approves applications.
The Conference and Competition Funding Committee meets the first week of each month to review applications submitted in the previous month. For example, applications received throughout October, up to November 1st, will be reviewed the first week of November. Applications received after November 2nd will be reviewed in December. Applications may be submitted after attending an event, so long as the event occured within the same academic semester as when the application is being submitted.
Students attending any given competition or conference must apply as a team. Applicants may only request funding for one competition or conference per application. Please note that only one application per competition or conference will be accepted; however, the number of attendees to be listed on the application is unlimited. This is in place to ensure equality.
This is a comprehensive application. Please ensure you have the following information before starting your application. You will not be able to save the form and return to it later.
- Competition information (dates, location, associated costs, host organization, theme)
- Travel information (accommodation location and costs, mode(s) of transportation)
- People attending (total number, names and majors of those from U of G)
Also, a Projected Budget outlining in as much detail as possible, the expenses incurred and projected costs in total for the competition or conference is requested in PDF or Word file.
By proceeding to the application form you confirm that you have read and understand the above guidelines. If you have any questions about applying for funding, please email the BCDC at langcareers@uoguelph.ca
