Program Funding
Don’t know where to start? FAQs
Below are a list of funds the student ORGs can apply for. Make sure to read each section carefully to ensure that your organization is eligible for the fund.
Apply → Receive Allocation → Account Code & Req Submission → Access your money
Student groups are granted funds through the process of proposals and hearings. Applications & Guidelines are available through Programming Applications & Guidelines
Funds are brought to USAC to be reviewed & approved at their weekly meetings.
After funds are granted, the funds are transferred into the student group's account (sometimes referred to as a department) in the SGA office.
Once funds have been allocated to your student group, in order to access your account a general requisition must be submitted, or a REQ for short. Each req much be completely filled out with the appropriate signatures, necessary information, your 21 digit account number, and the required attachments.
The Student Government Accounting office uses the General Requisition Form to process the expenditures of each student group/department, and student government office.
The Student Government Accounting office processes the REQ & issues the payment as a check to the payee.
