Funding Policies

2012-2013 RSO Funding Policies

General information regarding Registered Student Organization Funding:

  • Every student pays $3.10/semester as part of their student fees.  This goes into the Student Organization Fee which is comprised of two pots of money, Mass Funding and Rolling Funding.
  • Every spring, 2/3 of this money is allocated in the Mass Funding cycle for student organizations to utilize in the following academic year (i.e. 2012-2013). Applications for Mass Funding will come out in the spring. You must secure Rolling Funding (either this year or in the past) in order to be eligible to apply for Mass Funding allocated in the spring.
  • 1/3 remains to be allocated in the Rolling Funding cycle during the academic year.
  • Your student organization MUST be currently registered as a student organization with the Office of Activities and Engagement BEFORE you submit your funding application.  This is an annual registration process.  If your group has not registered yet this academic year, find an application HERE

Current Student Organization Funding Board:

Chair: Erica McKay
Members: Katie Chamberlin, Tiffany Kostelnik, Ben Goldsten, Cara Thuringer & Hannah Mains
Staff Advisor: Mandy St. Aubyn
