"We asked how well the goal of the organization's event or idea falls in line with the Ann Radcliffe Trust's mission statement," Balakrishnan said.
Though several individual students applied, only student groups were awarded money last week from the Trust. According to Karen E. Avery '87, assistant dean of the College and director of the trust, the trust does not grant money to individuals unaffiliated with organizations.
"There just aren't enough funds to give to all the great individual research," Avery said.
Over $15,000 has been available this year for grants from the trust. This week's vote concluded the third of four rounds of grants this year.
