Applying for Funds from the SGA

Are you looking for funds for your organization event or supplies for students in your college? The Student Government Association has multiple means of financial support for registered student organizations and University departments. While no means of financial support guarantees that anyone will receive funding just by applying for it, the information below can help prepare you for a successful request!

Explore your options below, and feel free to contact [email protected] with questions you may have.

Bills

Registered student organizations and campus departments may submit a bill to be heard by the SGA Senate. Legislative instruments must follow the formatting outlined in the SGA Constitution and meet financial approval before being heard by the Senate.

Budget Requests

Registered student organizations and campus departments may submit a budget request to be heard by the SGA Central Budget Committee. If possible, budget requests should be submitted for requests over $1,000 and/or for annual requests (e.g., funding for a recurring event). To submit a budget request for 2022-2023 school year, please use the Budget Request Form. If you need assistance will completing this form, please email us at [email protected].

Executive Orders

The Student Body President has an executive account for initiatives from the Executive Department. Student organizations and departments should only request funds through an executive order if they feel as though their event or project is aligned with current executive initiatives and support true co-sponsorship with the SGA.

Requesting an Executive Order
- To request an executive order, simply email the Student Body President and inquire if s/he would be interested in providing funds for your event or project.
- If your request is approved, you will receive an email from the Student Body President.
- If your request is denied, you can submit your request as a bill through the SGA Senate.

Academic Travel

The SGA provides funding for students to travel to conferences; your registered student organization is also eligible to apply for assistance from the academic travel fund.

Applying for Academic Travel
- The academic travel application process is outlined in detail here.
- If your application is approved, you are required to follow up and provide all receipts in order to receive reimbursement.
- If your application is denied, you will not receive funding. No other financial assistance provided by the SGA supports travel expenses
