STUDENT ORGANIZATION FUNDING REQUEST PROCESS

The Student Organization Advisory Board in conjunction with the Department of Student Activities and The Association of Former Students has established a limited supplemental funding pool for assisting Recognized Student Organizations and their activities. Due to the limited availability of these funds an application/evaluation process has been established involving a sub committee of the Student Organizations Advisory Board. These requests will be reviewed on a bi-weekly basis so applications should be submitted 14 days in advance of the event to receive full consideration. The following requirements also apply:

  • MSC Organizations

Funds may be requested for two purposes: Special Event Funding or Annual Operational Funding

Please indicate which funding purpose your organization will be applying for.
