SGA Funding

Each year, Student Activity Fees are collected from all full-time undergraduate students.  A percentage of those fees are allocated to the Student Government Association (SGA) for supporting student activities and student organization needs.  Funding requests are submitted through PhoenixCONNECT and reviewed by the SGA Finance Board (under the advisement of the Finance Board Advisor). Funding is limited and not all requests are able to be supported, but the board takes the following into consideration:

  • Events should be inclusive and open to all students.
  • Collaboration between student organizations is encouraged with the goal of promoting campus unity.
  • Events that may be of interest to large groups of students are balanced with those which cater to a smaller number.
  • Requests should align with the mission of the University and/or student organization.
  • Funding should be spread out among a variety of organizations to ensure a wide array of well-planned activities in all facets of campus life.
