Other Expenses

 * Description: HIP is a student group which funds independent work. We give grants to students so that they can make work that they otherwise would not be able to afford to make. Every semester we have more students applying for HIP funding. Due to the rising costs of materials in most mediums, most students request the maximum amount of funding. Last semester, we were able to grant multiple students the maximum of $750, but this was not able to fully fund their projects. We are asking for as much money as FICOM can possibly give us so that we can fund students to make independent work. In my experience, the students truly use the money for materials to make great work that they otherwise would not be able to make. We would appreciate if you could see the value of our group to the Hampshire community as a whole, and consider allotting us more money this semester than in semesters past due to our increased popularity among the student body. We would love to fund more projects! As many projects as possible! Thank you!!
