Discretionary Board

The Discretionary Board was established to fund programming events by recognized student organizations which do not fall under an umbrella assembly. It is the board's goal to sponsor events which are entertaining, cultural, and/or educational which cater to the entire student body.

Student organizations may apply for up to $4000 per semester. In order to receive funding the student organization must be officially recognized and the proposed event must occur on campus. All applications for funding are due by 5:00 pm two days prior to the board's meeting, at least four weeks in advance of the proposed event. A line item budget must also be included with the application. Fundraisers will not receive funding.

Discretionary Board is located in the USG Office STU 106.

This is a USG funded initiative and only undergraduate student organizations only are eligible for this funding.

Start-up Fund Application & Policies

Leadership Fund 

The USG Leadership Fund provides support for student organizations engaging in leadership development and recognition.  Among the items funded in past years are attendance at conferences, seminars, and workshops; organization of leadership retreats; and awards for leadership.  Airfare and food are approved only if necessary for the event.  They are considered luxury items and are not funded unless vital to the situation.

Although an organization may receive up to 5% of the funds annual allocation, this never guaranteed, student organizations may apply for up to $3,500 of funding in a single academic year.  It is recommended that you apply for funding early, especially for conferences and other events occurring during the summer, as funds can and do run out.

Leadership Fund is located in the USG office, STU 106.

This is an Undergraduate Student Government funded initiative and only undergraduate student organizations only are eligible for this funding.

Leadership Fund's Application & Notes

Philanthropy Fund

Philanthropy Fund is located in the USG Office, STU 106

This is a Student Senate funded initiative and only undergraduate student organizations only are eligible for this funding.
