What Do We Do?

• We review funding proposals submitted by YOU then vote on how to allocate $25,000 towards these proposals.

5.1. The MSC bases funding approval on the over-arching principles of direct Medical Student benefits and limitations of a finite budget. 5.2. The MSC operates within a finite budget; funding of all applications may not be possible. Our goals are to create a fair and objective system for the distribution of funding for student activities.
