Important Funding Information
FMC funding is not provided as an advance or direct payment to your group. Being granted funding means that the AUS will either reimburse eligible expenses incurred by your group or pay an invoice on your behalf.
NO RETROACTIVE APPLICATIONS
Funding applications must be submitted before the expense is incurred. The FMC does not accept retroactive applications.
