Thank you for your interest in working during Welcome to Michigan as a fund-raiser for your group. Sponsored or Voluntary Student Organizations that serve as Welcome Ambassadors will receive $75 for every 5 group members who work (up to 15 members or $225). If not all of your expected group members show up for their assigned shifts you may forfeit some or all of your stipend. Applying for the fundraiser does not guarantee that all of your group will be placed, depending on overall campus interest to give as many groups as possible the opportunity to raise funds.

Each Welcome Ambassador will receive a free Welcome to Michigan t-shirt to wear while they are working. The group coordinator will need to provide the group's SOAS account number when you show up to work to receive payment.

Please indicate all of the events you are able to assist with, and we will schedule so all interested groups can assist at some events and notify you of your assigned in early August. Applying for the fundraiser does not guarantee that all of your group will be placed, depending on overall campus interest to give as many groups as possible the opportunity to raise funds. Groups are generally selected to work based upon their availability (it is best to be flexible to work at a variety of events) and the date which we received your application.
