Students are discouraged from using their own vehicles for travel to and from service sites.
If students do use their own vehicles for service, their mileage will be reimbursed using the federal
mileage rate. A CSC mileage log (which can be found on our website) must be used to record the
mileage.
Students using their own cars are under their own insurance, not the University’s.
Under no circumstances should a JHU student ever transport a minor in his or her personal vehicle

CSC Student groups are funded by the France-Merrick endowment, which is intended to support direct
service in the city of Baltimore.
Group Budgets
•
Groups are funded each year based on their budget proposal. The CSC staff reviews the proposal
and determines the grant amount.
•
Up to $2,000 may be requested from the Center for Social Concern’s France-Merrick Endowment
each year. In situations where a group fundraises, they may have over $2000 in their account.
•
Due to the high number of groups, funding is limited, and groups may not receive all funding
requested. Funding notifications will be sent in late August.
The Center for Social Concern will only reimburse groups for items outlined in the budget proposal
submitted as part of the group’s registration (or re-registration) process every spring. We can and
will withhold reimbursement for expenditures that were not in the budget proposal. For any
changes/additions to the budget throughout the academic year, groups should contact both their advisor
and Carolyn Mack, Financial Administrator for the CSC. It is the responsibility of the group treasurer to
track the group’s transactions and budget and not exceed the amount awarded to the group. A report
detailing the group’s expenditures throughout the year will be required as part of the end-of-year report due
in May.
•
Groups may only access their funds once three officers from the group have completed Officer
Training online through Blackboard, including successful completion of the Financial Training
module and associated quiz.
