Requesting Funding

Limited course funds may be available for project-related needs (for example software licenses or materials).

Discuss needs with instructors before submitting a formal request.

Required Email Format

1. CC entire team and both instructors
2. Subject includes “Request for funds” and team name
3. Body includes:
   • exact item description (version/model/vendor)
   • direct purchase links
   • project justification
   • total cost estimate including tax/shipping

Quality Standard

Professional, specific requests are easier to approve. Overly vague or unrealistic requests are likely to be delayed or rejected.

Timing

Submit early enough that purchasing and approvals do not block project progress.

Example

Dear Dr. Colbry,

Our team requests the purchase of the following widget for our project.

• Link to Amazon

As we discussed, this widget will cost $300 and be used to gather the data required by our project community partner ACME Inc.

Thank you,

• ACME Team
