Student Funding

Student Government offers a variety of funding opportunities to the student body through the Legislative Branch, Student Involvement Center, and our Scholarships.

Special Requests (requests more than $1,000) are meant to fund special events and services or projects for students. Any university department, agency or student organization funded department or entity may request this type of funding. All special requests are first heard by the B&A Committee, then approved by SG Senate, and then signed by the SG President as approved legislation. To request these funds, requestors must fill out the Special Request form completely and accurately, attach all quotes and backup documentation, then submit either to the SG Rotunda (Student Union 38 East, room 3300) or via Perch Portal at least seven (7) days before the next B&A Committee meeting. If your request is for an event, you must submit your paperwork five (5) weeks prior to the event date.

Travel Requests are meant to fund student travel where the student traveler(s) is representing 老澳门资料. This can include competitions, conferences, out-of-town meetings, seminars, workshops, etc. Individual students may request up to $500 per request, but can only receive $500 in funding per fiscal year (July-June). RSOs can request up to $2,000 per request for group travel, but can only receive $2,000 in funding per fiscal year. All travel requests are heard and approved by the B&A Committee and then signed by the SG President as approved legislation. To request travel funding, requestors must fill out the Travel Request form completely and accurately, attach all quotes and backup documentation, then submit either to the SG Rotunda or Perch Portal at least five (5) weeks before the event or travel date.
Club Funding  (requests up to $1,000) can be requested from the Osprey Involvement Center through the Grant Request process. In order to submit a grant request, your RSO must be funding eligible through Student Involvement Center. For more on the Grant Request process, see the Club Funding page.
SG Scholarships are available at the beginning of each Fall semester and are typically split in half: half of the award is granted in the Fall and the other half in the Spring. SG provides Competitive scholarships, which are awarded by our Scholarship Committee, and Decentralized scholarships, which are awarded by different partnering departments. While award amounts vary, every student who applies will receive a letter over the Thanksgiving Break announcing if they have been awarded a scholarship. Check out our Scholarship page for more information on the different awards we offer, instructions on how to apply, and announcements for when the 2024-2025 Scholarship applications will become available.
