Budget and Finance Committee

The Budget and Finance Committee oversees $10.75 of student fees, which is set aside for Student Association uses. These funds are divided between the various groups within STIL and are used for various events, clubs and organizations, publicity, and SUUSA Senate initiatives. A large portion of this money goes toward the Student Senate budget, which is mostly used to fulfill Student and Club Funding Requests. The Budget and Finance Committee’s main responsibility is managing these funding requests made by students and clubs. Requests under $200 will be approved or denied by the committee alone, while the committee will make a recommendation for requests over $200 that are taken to the Student Senate to be voted on.

Requesting Money

Here is a general breakdown of the SUUSA Funding Policy:

  • All registered students, student clubs, and non-USO student organizations can request money from SUUSA. Staff and Faculty members, as well as university departments do not qualify. Students can receive up to $150 per year, and clubs can receive up to $2000 per year.
  • These requests must be submitted through the Funding Request form located on this page, and adhere to the conditions and criteria set in this policy
  • Requests should be submitted to the Budget and Finance Committee four [4] weeks before they are intended to be used.
  • Those requesting must be able to finance equal or greater amount to what they receive from SUUSA.
