PAC’s mission is to support the learning of Asian Studies in the Pittsburgh area. PAC will provide members with funding to help them host Asia-related events that directly contribute to this mission. To request funding, please fill out and submit the PAC Funding Request form on this web page. Once your request is received, PAC members will vote on whether to support the request, and at what level. Please be advised that all requests must include a budget that provides specific costs and any additional funding being requested from other sources. PAC asks that each requester seek matching or additional funds whenever possible.

PAC members are invited to submit requests for funding to Dr. Gemma Marolda. Each request is reviewed by PAC members. ASC notifies requesters of the decision concerning their applications. Members are allowed to submit as many requests as they wish.

 

Examples of events or activities eligible for PAC funding include:

-Speakers on a specifically Asia-related topic. (In addition to PAC funding, when possible, ASC will assist in locating speakers and share the costs.
-Asia-related film screenings.
-Musical or artistic events and performances.
-Teacher workshops. (ASC may be able to provide additional funding for these workshops.)
-Shared activities with local Asian American communities.
-Certain library materials.
-Other activities as approved by PAC.

 

PAC funding may NOT be used for the following:

-Faculty travel to academic conferences.
-Faculty research travel or research-related materials.
-Purchase of books or equipment for faculty. (For teacher workshops separate funding may be available that allows these purchases.)
