Submitting Your SURF IT Application

The online application portal for SURF IT will open in February 2025.

Working together, student teams should complete one Proposal and one Budget (if requesting expense funds).  Designate one team member to upload the Proposal and Budget through the main online application portal. This should be the same student representative who completes and signs the top portion of the SURF IT Mentors Joint Letter of Support form.

Follow the instructions for a GROUP SURF project in the online intake process. The main application intake form will ask for the UNH email addresses of additional team members.  Once the main application is submitted, the additional team members will receive an email linking them to a separate intake form to gather their contact information.  Teams should plan to submit the main application in plenty of time to allow for the additional team members to complete their individual intake forms.  ALL forms must be completed and submitted by the application deadline.
