Funding Request 

The AS51ÁÔÆæ Funding Request form is the official method for clubs to request financial support for the semester or academic year.

  • Funding may be used to support events, travel, supplies, and promotions.
  • Submitting this form initiates the process of securing financial resources from AS51ÁÔÆæ. 
  • Securing funding through this request does not replace the required event, purchase, or travel approval process through Student Engagement. Separate approval is still mandatory before any funds are spent. 

Budget Proposal  

The budget proposal is a required component of the AS51ÁÔÆæ funding request. It provides a general outline of estimated expenses for the planned activities and must include your club’s current balance based on your records. This proposal helps AS51ÁÔÆæ evaluate the financial need and feasibility of your request and supports transparent allocation of funds. 

Funding Request Process Overview  

Clubs complete the Funding Request Form in Involve, outlining their estimated costs and current club balance.

  • Forms must be submitted by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. to be considered at the Senate meeting within two weeks.  
  • Once submitted, the AS51ÁÔÆæ Vice President and Student Engagement will review the form for accuracy and verify eligibility.
  • Approved requests are forwarded to the AS51ÁÔÆæ Senate, where the information is used to draft a Funding Bill.  
  • AS51ÁÔÆæ will then contact the club and invite them to an upcoming Senate meeting to speak on the request. A student representative must attend the meeting to present the request and answer questions.
  • If approved by the Senate, funds are officially added to the club’s budget.  
  • When funds are requested for travel, the amount approved will remain designated for club travel only. 

Club Funding Summary  

Clubs can receive funding through various avenues including fundraising, requesting from AS51ÁÔÆæ, membership dues (if applicable depending on organization type), and donations. A portion of the AS51ÁÔÆæ budget is set aside each year for club requests. It is up to AS51ÁÔÆæ, under the guidance of Student Engagement, to utilize a funding tier system and process for clubs each year.
