SAMPLE BUDGET
Below is an example of a budget proposal. A budget outline is required with your application. Please use
the Excel document called “Budget Worksheet 2014” included with this application for putting together
your project’s budget. If you have questions or need further clarification, refer to the contact
information listed on the application cover sheet.
For an artist’s or consultant’s prep time, we use the following formula for calculating this time:
# of student contact hours x 0.60 = Prep Hours
(Approximately 40 minutes of prep time for every one-hour of student contact.)
The suggested rate for student contact time is $50/hour and prep time is $20/hour.
