Forms & Applications
COVID-19 Micro-Grants for Requesting Student Activity Fees
Due to complications from COVID-19, student activity fee funds have been reduced for the 2020-2021 school year. SGA has decided to implement a system of micro-grants instead of allocating singular budgets to groups.
Micro-grants will function much like regular mini-grants. When your group needs funding for an event or initiative, fill out the following form. SGA's summer council will review requests and disburse funds as they see fit.
- Submit requests at least three weeks before the event
- Requests will be reviewed event by event, but exceptions will be considered
- A representative may be asked to attend a SGA meeting to answer questions, but this is not required of all requests.
- This money is not for personal use, donation, or feeding your organization during normal meetings. Please take this into consideration before submitting this application.
