Funding Request Process

1. Submission of Requests: Student organizations may submit funding requests for their initiatives and events. We encourage detailed proposals that outline the purpose, benefits, and budgetary needs.
2. Evaluation Criteria: Each funding request will be evaluated based on specific criteria, including the proposal's alignment with our organizational goals, the overall impact on the student body, and the availability of resources.
3. No Guaranteed Funding: Submitting a funding request does not guarantee approval or allocation of funds. Each request will be assessed individually, and funding may be limited based on the overall budget and priorities.
4. Notification: Organizations will be notified of the outcome of their funding requests. If funding is not approved, organizations are encouraged to explore alternative sources of funding.
5. Support and Resources: We are here to assist organizations in developing their proposals and finding other resources, so please reach out if you have questions or need guidance.
