ASUU Fine Arts funds are to be used to support art making and presenting. They are not to be used for cast parties or for paying students and faculty for their time. Guest artist fees can be paid with ASUU funds.
The application deadline for Fall Semester funding is September 27, 2007, with the committee meeting October 4, 2007. Spring Semester 2008 funding is February 7, 2008, with the committee meeting February 14, 2008. Applications are due in the office of the Dean of the College of Fine Arts, 250 AAC, no later than 5:00 pm. Late proposals will not be considered.
Funding decisions are to be made based on the following:
- quality of the project
- completeness and quality of the written proposal
- direct/longterm benefits to students or the student experience
- interdisciplinary activities
- number of students involved
- audience appeal
- innovation
- special opportunities
- university or community service
Current funding decisions will not be based on past funding.
Student groups applying for ASUU Fine Arts funding must be registered with ASUU prior to the application deadline.
Fees can be used to support student travel at 50% to conferences or festivals as long as students are presenting or performing. Fees cannot be used for student per diems.
A final report for each funded project including a final expense budget is due in the Deans office two weeks after the completion of the project or by July 1, 2007, whichever comes first. Student groups must submit these reports in order to be eligible for future funding.

If the regular department student representative cannot be in attendance at the meeting, another student can be designated to stand in and present the proposals.

More Information
Funding activities with a longterm development component makes economic sense as the participants and audiences of today will be the donors of tomorrow. Paying attention to this fact will strengthen art funding in the future.
A project does not need to take place or be completed during the semester in which it is funded but does need to take place and be completed during the academic year it is funded.
The committee can carry over any unused funds from year to year.
Student groups that receive funding for their proposals must have a final report turned in to the Deans office 2 weeks after the project is completed or by August 25, 2008, whichever comes first.
