What is the Pepsi Enhancement Fund?
Evaluation Form
A requirement in accepting a Pepsi grant is the sponsoring organization must complete a brief program evaluation form after the program is executed. This will inform PepsiCo and the review committee on final details and results of each program. The funding board has adopted a policy that states if an organization does not complete an evaluation from a previous Pepsi award any future awards will be cut in half. For example, if a group who received an award last semester did not complete the evaluation and then submits a proposal and $1,000.00 was granted by the board, the group would only receive $500.00 for the new program.
Submit your evaluation here!

Pepsi funds are non-transferable. You may only use your grant for the event/program specified in your initial proposal submission.
It is preferred that you do not seek corporate sponsorship from non-alcoholic beverage companies that provide sodas, isotonic drinks, teas, or water. This makes Pepsi-Cola your exclusive non-alcoholic beverage sponsor. If you are offering beverages at your event, Pepsi products are expected, but we do not provide them for you.
Your Pepsi funds should be returned. Please reach out to pepsi@umd.edu for more information.
The call for Pepsi proposals are always announced one semester in advance. For example, fall funding is determined in the spring, while spring funding is determined in the fall. Learn more here.
