Student Activity Funding
A portion of the Student Initiated Fee is designated for student activity funding to improve the co-curricular environment for our students.
How do you request funds for an activity?
Requests for funds are submitted to the Student Activity Fee Committee by completing the Student Activity Funding Request Form on Engage and then attending the SAF Committee meeting to present the request. The form is available during the fall and spring semesters.
Funding decisions are made by the student members of the SAF Committee and the student co-chair will email each requester of the committee's decision.
