Budget & Funding Requests

The ASG Funding Request Form is open on Engage! Please submit all requests as early as possible in advance of your event, so start your planning now!

Did you know that you can request money from the ASG?

Do you want to request funding to host an event, attend a conference, or purchase supplies for a service project?

The ASG has funding set aside for these types of requests. This budget line is called “Inter-Campus Contributions” and is included in our budget.

How do I submit a funding request?

You can find the funding request form on Engage. Please note the link is active during the fall and spring semesters. 

Who reviews my funding request?
All ASG funding requests are first reviewed by the ASG Finance Committee and then forwarded to the Student Senate for consideration. The request should be received in advance of the standing Finance Committee meeting to be placed on the agenda for review.
How do I know when the Finance Committee or Student Senate meets?
All ASG meetings are listed in Engage here. The Finance Committee typically meets two times per month, and the Student Senate typically meets on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm.
How does the ASG Finance Committee decide if they are going to recommend that the Student Senate approve the request or not?
The ASG Finance Committee uses a rubric to guide their assessment of the request. Click here to see a copy of the rubric.
When will the Student Senate review the Finance Committee’s recommendation and vote on my request?
After the Finance Committee reviews the request, your request will be placed on an upcoming ASG Senate agenda, and the Finance Committee will share their recommendation with the Senate. You are welcome to attend this meeting and speak about your request! Then, the Student Senate will vote on whether to approve the request.
Once I submit a request for funds, what is the timeline for approval or denial of funds?
The entire review process in the Finance Committee and the Student Senate may take about three to four weeks, and then another two weeks to process if approved. This timeline depends on the ASG Finance Committee, the Student Senate, and the colleges fiscal team schedule, so best practice is to submit your request as soon as possible.
What are some examples of funding requests?
Examples of funding requests include requesting funding to cover the cost of a guest speaker, food for a student event, supplies for a student project, or swag items for your club or organization.
What if my funding request is denied?
If the Student Senate votes to not approve the funding request, the Finance committee chair may contact you with options that may include feedback about how to update the request with additional information. You may also apply for other funding sources such as through the Inter-Club Council (ICC).
