Requesting Chapter/Section Funds
Student Chapters and Local Sections are asked to complete and submit a request form whenever they wish to receive funding support.
Click on the items listed below to access request forms:
Forms of payment
- All funds are paid in U.S. dollars.
- U.S.-based chapters/sections receive payment by check.
- Chapters/sections located outside the U.S. are strongly encouraged to request payment by check. Electronic payments using the Wire Transfer Form can take considerably longer to process.
How to Submit a Check Request
Chapter/Sections located in the U.S.:
- Complete and return the Check Request Form.
Note: U.S.-based chapters/sections are encouraged to open a bank account in the name of their organization. For example, the "OSA Student Chapter- Duke University".
- Important! U.S.-based chapters/sections must provide OSA with an Employer Identification Number (EIN) in order to receive funding.
Chapters/Sections located outside the U.S.:
If possible, please request payment by check using the Check Request Form and the International Funding Disbursement Form
How to Submit a Wire Request - Use this form only if your chapter/section is unable to receive and process checks from OSA.
- Wire Request Form- All requests for wires must be made using the Wire Request Form. Supporting documentation such as a copy of an OSA grant award letter or start up fund documentation must be included. Wire transfers take considerably longer to process and may result in a delay in processing the funding request.
- International Student Chapter Funding Disbursement Form Chapters/sections located outside the U.S. must complete this form which identifies the officer(s) who are authorized to receive the funds on behalf of the chapter/section.
