Marshall Funding & Reimbursement Guidelines
A limited number of organizations that have consistently added value to the Marshall
School of Business will be rewarded with sponsorship. Sponsored organizations are
eligible to access funding provided by the Student Services Office (SSO).
Once your funding application has been submitted and approved, receipts must be submitted within two weeks of your
event. Scanned receipts (emailed to studentservices@marshall.usc.edu) or originals should be submitted for processing
within two weeks after your event is complete. Receipts received after 2 weeks of the event will not be reimbursed.
Original receipts for your approved expenses must be mounted vertically on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of white paper and submitted
to BRI 105.Please include notes identifying what each receipt is for (i.e. “food for event” or “gifts for speakers”). Any receipts
for gifts or parking permits purchased for guest speakers should submitted with a list of names for each guest speaker in
attendance.
All reimbursements will be made out to an individual in your organization, not in the organization’s name. A maximum of
three members of your organization may be designated as a reimbursee.
