Guidelines

          Program Eligibility

  • All student organizations applying for funds must be registered with the Office of Student Activities. You may check to see if your student organization is registered at Hopkins Groups.
  • Student organizations applying for funds are encouraged to collaborate with other registered student organizations, administrative offices, or academic departments.
  • All sponsored events must be open and advertised to all Homewood students.  Private parties or exclusive events will not be funded.
  • An event cannot be purely social in nature. It must include a performance, speaker, cultural or educational component, etc.
  • SLPG will not fund cash prizes of any kind.
  • Any equipment or supplies purchased with SLPG are the property of Johns Hopkins University.  Your proposal should include a plan for storage, security and future use of the purchased equipment.  Equipment must also be made available to other student organizations after it is used for your program.
  • SLPG does not directly fund charities or community agencies.
  • SLPG cannot be used to fund retroactively.
  • The grant committee reserves the right not to fund recurring or repetitive events.

    Budget info
  • SLPG may be the sole funding source for events with a total budget under $500.  If your budget is over $500, you must seek additional funding or contribute funds from one or more of the groups who are applying.
  • SLPG will only be awarded in amounts up to $1000.
  • Funding is awarded through the direct payment of vendors or independent contractors who provided services for the program.
  • If funded, student organizations will receive the grant proceeds in their group account after a room has been reserved and a plan has been provided for storage of reusable items.  Then the group will need to bring the appropriate original invoices, contracts, or receipts to their financial administrator for processing.
  • Proposals without a detailed budget or with an incomplete budget may result in the program not being funded by SLPG.
          Alcohol at event
  • SLPG will not fund alcohol. 
    If alcohol is a part of a proposed program, the event must take place on campus. 
    All events with alcohol must abide by the university’s Alcohol Policy, found in the Undergraduate Student Handbook, as well as state and local laws.
  • If alcohol is present at the event, an equally attractive non-alcoholic option must be available, as well as a meal or substantial food.

Committee Members

The SLPG receives its budget from a variety of sources which support collaborative efforts to sponsor student programs. Funding sources include the President's Office, the Dean of the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Dean of the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering, the Parents Fund and the Dean of Student Life. These offices have provided funding for this committee to act as a clearinghouse for student group funding requests.
