Form Layout
The form layout, along with the roles that complete each section of the form, are as follows:
Specific Field Instructions
-Date(s) Prizes, Gifts, and Awards will be issued: Be as specific as possible. If items will be given away on multiple days, please provide additional details on the distribution plan in the additional information section.
-Funding Source: The University Funds box will be selected most often. Note that if a Fund 233 department is to be used, this is considered a University Fund. Select UWL Foundation only if items will be purchased directly by the Foundation, rather than running them through regular university channels.
-University Account to be Billed: Fund and Department are required fields here. If you are using grant funding and have a project ID, that will be required as well.
-Total Approximate Prizes, Awards, and Gift Costs: Put the total value of the purchase on this line. If your purchase includes multiple items, attach an estimate to the form or indicate in the Additional Information Box what the per-person cost is. This will help determine if costs are within allowed limits.
-Provide a description of the Prize(s), Award(S), and Gift(s): This field is a description of the items being purchased, not the reason why the purchase is being made.
-Additional Information related to the Prize(s), Award(s), and Gift(s): Each award type on the form indicates what information should be included in the 'Additional Information' box. In addition to the requested information, include any other details that are pertinent to approving the form. If more space is needed, attach a word document to the form.
