Funding & Reimbursements
Funding is available through your department for UDR sponsored initiatives.
Requesting Funds
You should request UDR funding as soon as you know your initiative's budget requirements. You cannot apply for funding after your initiative has occurred.
If you are collaborating with another office, ask them if they have sources of funding. Funding is also available from various programs and offices (A-board, Student Union, Brandeis Pluralism Alliance, etc.) depending on the topic or the goal of your project.
Reimbursement Requests
Please follow these guidelines when seeking reimbursements:
- All payments and reimbursements from the UDR program require that the funding was approved prior to the occurrence of the expense.
- Receipts for reimbursements must be original and itemized. Make copies of the receipts.
- Never pay or reimburse an individual, e.g., a performer or guest lecturer, with your own funds. You will be in violation of tax laws and the university will not reimburse you.
- Contact your Undergraduate Advising Head with questions.
