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
Student Organization Funding Board Meetings are held every Tuesday at 5pm to review Rolling Funding applications. These are open meetings. Student Organizations whose applications are to be reviewed are encouraged to send a representative to answer any questions the board may have in reviewing and voting on the application.
