One of the great benefits of this program is the practice it gives students in proposal-writing. A good proposal will clearly describe the exact nature and scope of the proposed activity and will be concisely written with no unnecessary verbiage or other information. It will have a complete and realistic budget which follows the guidelines specified in the program announcement. And finally, the proposed activity will be worthwhile, feasible, and compatible with the purposes of PSA.
Each year nearly 100 chapters receive chapter activity grants. The selection committee takes account of the quality of the proposals themselves when it makes funding decisions. Below are links to examples that are well-written, feasible projects with reasonable and detailed budgets. The range of possible proposals is, of course, much broader than the examples below.
