Council Treasurer Justin R. Chapa ’05 said any surplus remaining in the council’s account at the end of the year will be rolled over to next year.
Chopra said the novelty of the council’s rolling grant system, which was implemented for the first time this semester, explains the surplus, and added that “a year of data” will smooth the process.
Chapa said that around $31,000 has been allocated to groups under the new system, but that he has written only eighteen checks.
He said groups might not be aware that they before they can receive approved funding, they must submit a review of their completed projects.
