All groups will be notified when application forms are available to download from the website for the academic year 2011/2012.
4.3 Projects Funding
Have you come up with a great idea but need a helping hand to develop it? Our Projects Fund may be the answer. Any student or student activity group can apply to this fund at any point in the academic year to support a project which will enhance students’ lives. Unfortunately, we cannot support projects which solely benefit one individual student.
Funding will be allocated based on each application and/or proposal and the relevance of the project to the Union’s mission and values and the aims and objectives of the strategic plan.
The projects fund application form and guidelines are downloadable throughout the year from www.salfordstudents.com (see Appendix 4)

All applications for equipment must be submitted in writing to the Student Activities Manager. There is no form for this, please ensure the document contains the following information
• Existing Equipment
