Pi Sigma Alpha Announces 2007 Grant Winners for Chapter Activities

Extract

Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society, is proud to announce the winners of its 2007 Chapter Activity Grants Competition. In this annual program Pi Sigma Alpha chapters submit proposals for activities they would not be able to carry out without funding. The maximum grant to any chapter is $2,000. The proposed activities may be in areas such as chapter and student development, social service, and the like. A grants committee reviews the proposals competitively and makes awards based on the quality and feasibility of the activity proposed, the completeness and appropriateness of the budget, and other factors. Chapters may submit proposals for one or two activities. Some proposals received full funding, some received partial funding with instructions on how to scale back the activity, and some were rejected. This year the committee funded proposals for 103 activities. Now in its 27th year, the Chapter Activity Grants program is the biggest and most important of the honor society's award programs both because of the size of its budget and the very large number of students who benefit from it.
