• Are we allowed to ask for feedback prior to submission? The Chair is not able to review proposals and provide feedback ahead of time as they may have to cast a tiebreaker vote. However, the Council Advisor, LeAnne Wiles is able to provide feedback since she is not voting. Please connect with her directly at ljwiles@uw.edu.
  • What if we’re trying to get more than one thing funded? We recommend that you write separate proposals for each item so it maximizes your chances of getting funded, as by tying two (or more) items together in the same proposal, the council would have to deny both if even one item did not receive approval.
  • Can we submit supplemental information? Yes! If you have supplemental information that you believe will support your proposal, including the possibility of partial funding (such as a budgetary breakdown of what the NSEOF funding request will be used for), you are more than welcome to submit it.
  • How do we submit supplemental information? Please email supplemental information as file attachments to fytsac@uw.edu by the submission deadline. They will be bundled with the proposal for council review.
  • What role does our student representative play in the funding request process? Units are welcome to have their student representative serve as an advocate during pre-vote discussions and/or present to the council during proposal review if other unit staff are unable to attend.
  • How does the council come to a decision on proposals? Students will be discussing the proposal based on the impact on incoming first year and transfer students and the responses to questions in the proposal.
