The SQoL program encourages projects that have wide appeal among School community members, but also considers proposals that focus on specific groups if they cut across existing departmental and programmatic lines. Projects need not be ambitious in scope, so
long as they encourage positive connections within the community. The Selection Committee will consider proposals of all sizes, but generally caps projects at $3K per year. In addition, proposals that have matching funds from other sources will be viewed
favorably by the selection committee.</div>
