    • Once you complete the request, the document will route to the following reviewers as selected for award consideration.
      • Faculty award reviewer: Faculty Advisor/Program Approver as indicated by you on the form. Please note that having faculty funding is not a requirement for receiving an award.
      • Eligibility reviewer: The GA Manager will review to ensure applicant is meeting eligibility criteria.
      • Department reviewer: Will review for the department award funding. The department award is not a matching award.
      • ORIC reviewer: Will review for the ORIC award funding. This is a matching award and requires an additional award to be matched. Faculty and department requests are reviewed prior to the ORIC review, so they can be used as matches or students can attach documentation of additional funding to be matched.
  3. Upon final approval of the application, the applicant will receive an award review notification, and if awarded, funding will be processed.
