Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the timeline for the beneficiary selection process?

A: All interested applicants are invited to an informational session at Norris University Center (1999 Campus Drive, Evanston, IL 60208) on March 3, 2012 at 10:30AM. Please note that this is during Dance Marathon, so you will have an opportunity to see the actual even while at this information session.

Q: When are proposals due?

A: Proposals must be postmarked by Friday, April 6, 2012. They can be sent to:

Dance Marathon 2012 Executive Co-Chairs
Kunal Joshi and Scott Ritter
1999 Campus Drive, Box 50
Evanston, IL 60208

Q: If an organization is unable to attend the informational session, is this okay?

A: Absolutely. If you cannot find the answers to any questions you may have on this website, please also feel free to get in touch with Scott and Kunal at exec@nudm.org at any time.

Q: What should be included in a proposal?

A: See this year’s Beneficiary Request for Proposal, which outlines the general requirements for your Proposal. However, feel free to be as creative within those guidelines as you need!

Q: Does a prospective organization need a connection to Northwestern University to apply?

A: While it is a great addition to an application, a direct connection to the university is not a requirement.

Q: Can an organization apply more than once?

A: We encourage reapplication as every year a different executive board will have the opportunity to read your application.

Q: Can a previous beneficiary reapply to be this year’s beneficiary?

A: Yes! But given that a new board will be reviewing your proposal, please realize that you will still need to submit as comprehensive a proposal as possible since this board may not be familiar with your organization despite your previous connection to NUDM.

Please direct any additional questions to exec@nudm.org or 773-980-NUDM. Thank you for your interest in Northwestern University Dance Marathon and we look forward to reading your proposal!

Q: I have more questions!

A: No problem! Feel free to e-mail Kunal and Scott at exec@nudm.org or call us at 773.980.NUDM (6836)!
