The IU Indianapolis Funding Board is a trained, unbiased committee that promotes the good use of student funds, reviews new grant proposals and hears appeals for those previously unawarded. If you are not satisfied with the original decision of the IU Indianapolis Funding Board, you may ask for a second review by the committee and staff in the Office of Student Involvement. Decisions will be made within two weeks of your appeal and will be considered final upon that conclusion. Contact indyfund@iu.edu for more information.
