Student Project Groups
Viterbi student organizations who will be submitting a project to a regional or national competition are welcome to request funding for the design and construction of that project. To be considered for funding support, groups must submit a written proposal to the Viterbi Admission & Student Affairs office. Funding is limited and varies from year to year. It is recommended that organizations request funding early in the fall semester as funds are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

- A brief introduction of the project and student organization.
