Eligibility & Notes
- An applicant need not be a Commissioner; any Society member planning to host a clan tent may apply.
- The stipend is meant to assist those who will be hosting their clan tent in the same calendar year as the application is submitted. Awards do not carry over to the next calendar year.
- The stipend is given as a reimbursement for expenses. Once you have been notified that you will be receiving a $100 stipend, keep your receipts in order to be later reimbursed up to that amount. The deadline to submit a reimbursement request is December 31 of that calendar year.
- If you are awarded and subsequently used the stipend, you must wait two calendar years before reapplying for another one (e.g., if you are awarded a stipend in 2020, you may next apply in 2022). If you applied, were awarded, but never submitted a reimbursement (so never used the funds), you may reapply at any time.
- The Board of Directors reserves the right to withhold reimbursement for expenses that were not outlined in the initial stipend application and/or are not directly related to hosting a clan tent.
