This fund is generally not applicable to EUS groups, as its purpose is to provide students with additional laboratory equipment supplemental to that normally supplied by the university. In some cases, this has included purchases made for design team permanent equipment, but is up the Equipment Fund Committee to decide what it considers to be purchasable under the fund. Bylaws can be [[Equipment Fund Bylaws|found here]].

[[MESC]] is a major contributor to many student initiatives, including design teams. There is a standard application form which can be filled out and submitted to the MESC, [http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/current-students/undergraduate/student-life/student-projects-funding found here].<br>
The Student Initiative Fund ([[MESC]] Funding) is available for almost any student initiative that involves undergraduate or graduate students in the faculty of engineering. Applications can be made through [https://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/students/undergraduate/student-life/student-initiatives-funding-request-form this form] on an ongoing basis, you need to login to view the full application. In the application you will be asked for choose from the funding options below - you may choose multiple! Applications are reviewed by a MESC representative and the Dean. If you receive funding you must submit a report with receipts for all expenditures and a one page final report.<br>
 
For regular applications, the maximum amount which may be received is $1,000, but do not ask for more than is needed, because it may not be granted or may be at the expense of other groups if it is. [[MESC]] will request copies of all your receipts - however they are usually content to receive a [[Printouts|print-out]] from the EUS [[accounts]] of the expenses that you submitted and the revenues received for the trip. <br>

Approach EUS and your department (if applicable) for funding before approaching MESC. They want to see that you’ve exhausted other sources of money immediately available within the faculty of engineering.
 
Approach EUS and your department (if applicable) for funding before approaching MESC. Student groups must receive funds from EUS before MESC will grant funding. Student events that are affiliated with a Department (i.e. Departmental specific Speed-Networking Events) must have a contribution from their Department first as the Department should be encouraging their own students.  An email confirmation of departmental funding can be included with your application.  MESC will attempt to match the Departments contribution (or possibly grant more funding depending on the event).
 
Please contact Student Affairs Administrator Mrs. Lori Hurdle-Teoli at lori.hurdle@mcgill.ca if you have any additional questions regarding MESC funding.

Departmental administrators may have funds available for student projects. This varies greatly between departments, and departmental societies are generally the ones most likely to be able to benefit. Departmental representatives should approach their departmental chair (or potentially other officials in the department) about initiatives which will benefit students from that department, and see if the department is willing to make any contributions. <br>
