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.
