The dean of student development administers a Mini-Grant program as a method of disbursing student activities funds to student clubs, organizations, ad-hoc student groups, and faculty. It is designed to give an equal opportunity to all students and groups to obtain funding based on their level of effort, creativity, and planning for the RCC community. A specified amount is allocated for Mini-Grant projects each year. Students are advised to submit proposals as early as possible in the academic year in order to have the best chance for funding.

Guidelines:

• Mini-Grants are available to established College clubs, newly formed clubs, classes, faculty, and ad hoc groups addressing a specific topic or issue. All groups requesting funds must have a faculty sponsor or academic advisor.
• Mini-Grant proposals must be neatly typed, and must be accom­panied by the Mini-Grant Approval Form. The proposal format and approval forms are available from the dean of student development or on RCC website.
• Mini-Grant proposals must be submitted to the dean of student development at least two weeks prior to the event for which the funds are needed. The dean and the Student Affairs Committee will review proposals. A member of the submitting organization should attend the Student Affairs Committee meeting when the proposal is being reviewed to answer any questions that may arise. Groups will be notified in writing of the response to their proposal. If the proposal is not recommended for funding, sugges­tions for improving the proposal for resubmission will be provided, if appropriate. Instructions on how to proceed to obtain funding will accompany the approved Mini-Grant Proposal.

Preference will be given to proposed programs that have the potential for benefiting a large percentage of the student community.
