Nursing Alumni Association Budget: 2006-07
Each spring, the Nursing Alumni Council accepts proposals and submits a budget for the following fiscal year to the dean of the School of Nursing. The dean allocates monies from the Nursing Annual Fund to support projects and priorities identified and proposed by the Alumni Council. The majority of the funds awarded by the Alumni Council come from the Nursing Annual Fund, an unrestricted pool of money made up of many gifts from generous alumni, parents, and friends.
The Alumni Council accepts proposals from faculty and nursing student organizations on an annual basis for consideration in the next funding cycle.
The Council made the following awards in FY 2006-07 (the current fiscal year). The fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
