2009 Best Affiliate Award Application

Submitted by august on Thu, 2008-03-06 13:20.

Is your group the best?

Whereas SSA grants assist affiliates with projects that will take place in the future, the "Best Affiliate Award" is intended to recognize the Secular Student Alliance affiliate group that has done the most to create a welcoming secular community on their campus, done the most to raise awareness about secularists and their values, and been the most effective at educating their community about our shared values.

Best Awards cover an entire academic year and will be given at our annual conference in August. Applications for awards are due by June 15th, 2009. The winning group will get $500.00 as part of the award.

This application is for the best affiliate.
Criteria include: How visible is your group on campus? How visible is your group in the media? How many people regularly participate in your group's operations? How often and what ways does your group meet? Have you changed any policies at your school or in your community? What have you done to educate your community about naturalism, critical and scientific inquiry, democracy, secularism and human based ethics? What have you done to promote naturalism, critical and scientific inquiry, democracy, secularism and human based ethics in your community?

There are some basic requirements for all award applicants:

  • Your group must be an affiliate of the SSA.

  • Your group must have a constitution or charter.

  • Unless you are at a parochial school, your group must have official recognition by your school.

  • Your group must have a bank account in your group's name so that we can write the award check to your group.
