Application to Request Funds for Student-Conceptualized Events

Before filling out this application, please note:
  • CPL has limited funding to support student-generated events during the academic year.
  • This application form is for the support of events that are NOT conferences or treks. (Conference funding request form can be found here.)
  • CPL does not provide partial funding for student events (i.e., we do not financially co-sponsor student events with other centers or organizations).
  • CPL does not provide funding for travel incidentals, parties, or gifts.
  • CPL only provides funding for events generated by students currently enrolled at HKS.
For your program to qualify as an event it must... 
  1. Be an independent, one-time event (if event is recurring or annual, please see student conference funding application here).
  2. Be completely independent of Leadership Development events or CPL Fellowship co-curricular programming.
  3. Be less than three hours long.
  4. Have a total budget of less than $2,500.
  5. Attract an audience of approximately 20-200 people.
  6. Be open to the entire HKS community.
If your application is successful, CPL will assume responsibility for logistical planning and internal coordination of your event, as well as marketing oversight. Applications must demonstrate impact on the HKS community, and align with CPL’s strategic priorities including leadership development, social innovation, diversity/inclusion, and behavioral insights.
