Established in 1957, the Student Government Association represents all segments of the student body and is organized to help formulate and voice student opinion regarding University policies and to allocate its funding to appropriate committees, programs, projects and student organizations.

Funding Process
Student organizations, campus departments and programs may request funding by submitting the necessary paperwork.
Funding from the Student Government Association is not intended to fund all operation and programming needs of student organizations, departments, programs or groups.
The Student Government Association will review and consider all funding requests. Funding can be requested by student organizations through the form of a proposal presented to the Student Government Association.
The following documents must be included with a completed Funding Request Form:
- Narrative describing the proposal and how the funds are to be used. In addition, include in the narrative how the funding proposal supports the mission of University, the University’s Learning Outcomes and purpose of your student organization.
- A detailed expenditure breakdown for how the funds are to be used.
Once the Funding Request Form and related documentation have been received, the student organization must then present their proposal to the Student Government Association for consideration. The Student Government Association will use this material to help determine justifiable and appropriate funding.
NOTE: To be eligible to receive funding, student organization advisors and officers must attend a mandatory Student Organization Officer and Advisor Workshop prior to submitting their funding request.
