Ian Orchard Student Initiatives Fund
The Ian Orchard Student Initiatives Fund (IOSIF) was created in 2010 in honour of Ian Orchard's service to the University of Toronto Mississauga as Vice-President and Principal (2002-2010). The IOSIF's objective is to assist student groups across campus fund projects and events which look to enhance the student experience and foster a sense of community on campus.
The IOSIF is open to university recognized student groups and organizations and will consider requests for activities like:
-
Special Initiatives
Festivals celebrating the arts and student talent (music, theatre, art, etc) -
Academic Initiatives
Case/academic competitions held by various student groups -
Service Learning
Alternative Spring Break -
Diversity initiatives
-
Community Development Projects
Funding proposals must demonstrate how funding will:
- Promote the importance of student engagement beyond the classroom in enhancing the overall student experience.
- Contribute and foster a sense of community on the U of T Mississauga campus.
- Strengthen the image and reputation of U of T Mississauga.
- Be of interest and service to a significant number of U of T Mississauga students.
Successful applications may be provided with full or partial funding of their overall request, typically in the range of $250-$1000. Groups and organizations can reapply on a yearly basis, with a maximum of two consecutive years of funding available to any particular group, organization, event or activity. Funding will not be provided for general operating expenses of student groups and organizations - the funds are for specific events and activities.
The application deadline for Fall 2013 is Friday, October 11, 2013. All applications should only reflect programming and/or events for the upcoming academic year. No late applications will be considered and will be returned to the primary contact.
ALL FUNDING APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED USING THE APPLICABLE APPLICATION FORM.
