Step 1: Complete the application by the Tuesday before your party at 12:00pm EST. The application can be found here: Apply for a DAPA Grant
(Please note: This form is the ONLY way to apply for a DAPA Grant now. We do not accept any applications submitted to the [email protected]. We hope that our application makes the process quicker and more enjoyable for you.)

Step 3: Fill out reimbursement forms and submit receipts to AODS (7 Linden St) within one week of your event. You will be reimbursed shortly thereafter.
Criteria:
The DAPA Grants Committee looks at the following criteria when making decisions on applications:
- Specifics: Be as detailed and thorough as possible. Our decision is likely to be more favorable if we have more information.
- Consumption: Think about how much money you plan to spend on alcohol (if you will be serving it) and consider spending a comparable amount (if not more) on food and non-alcoholic drinks. Our program looks to fund parties that offer a source of substantial food (not just chips, cookies, etc.).
- Timing: DAPA grants are awarded to registered parties that occur during high-risk drinking times on campus (i.e. Thursday-Saturday nights). We look for parties that are thrown on social evenings.
- Thoughtfulness: The more effort and thought that you put into your application, the more it will stand out to us. Take time to explain how your event is both a safe social activity and reduces high risk drinking. Be genuine.
- Creativity: Throw an event that stands out.
- Punctuality: Due to the high volume of applications and in fairness to applications submitted on time, we will not read applications submitted after Tuesday at 12:00PM EST of the week for which you are applying.
