FUNDING

If you are looking for information about the Graduate Funding Initiative, click here. This page is meant for Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs) looking for funding from Student Government.

If you are a recognized student organization, there are many ways to get money for events, capital improvements, and other expenditures. An affiliation with a corporate sponsor, national organization, academic division, or good old fashioned fundraising are often effective uses to fund projects on campus.

In addition, the University sets aside a certain portion of the Student Activities Fee (check your tuition bill—it's there) for student events. They can be found in three main pots.

Summer Fund

Summer Fund is a small pot of money that is given to RSOs by the Executive Slate. All Summer Fund events and expenses must be for use during the Summer, or in the first 5 weeks of Fall Quarter, before SGFC convenes. All Summer Fund requests must adhere to the SGFC guidelines.

Budgets must be submitted to your RSO Advisor by noon Friday at least 9 days before your event takes place. Funding decisions will be made within one week after submission. For further clarification as to when your budget should be submitted, see the budget submission timetable.

SGFC

The Student Government Finance Committee is a seven member board of SG representatives that meet weekly throughout the year to hear budgets from RSOs. Before you apply for money for SGFC, please read the guidelines! Budgets not adhering to these guidelines will NOT be funded.

Annual Allocations

The Annual Allocations committee is a seven member group that meets for one week in the Spring to decide budgets for the following year. AnnAl only funds annual events that have been done before, or events that occur within the first 5 weeks of Fall Quarter, before SGFC convenes. All AnnAl budgets must adhere to SGFC guidelines.
