Funding Forms
Use these forms to apply for standard, block, or reimbursement funding from the Graduate Student Council. If you have any questions, please email gsc-funding-submissions@groups.dartmouth.edu.
Generally, the Guarini School can reimburse graduate students for approved expenses that are for goods such as food or travel (bus tickets, conference registration, taxi fare, etc.). Graduate Students with funding approval from the Guarini School or the GSC should seek administrative support before hiring vendors for services (DJs, Bands, Caterers, etc.) during various events and initiatives. Graduate students need to seek administrative support because a contract between the vendor and Dartmouth needs to be put in place prior to services being rendered. Graduate students should not be paying out of pocket for services provided to the college. The policies in place are due to federally mandated tax rules and regulations. Dartmouth must remain in compliance.
Failure to follow Dartmouth’s policies will result in payment being denied.
