Student Organization Funding

Overview of Student Organization Funding

SGA funding is available to officially recognized student organizations to help support events, programs, and initiatives that benefit the student body and enhance campus life. To be eligible, organizations must be active and approved by Campus Engagement, have a representative in the House of Representatives (HOR), and submit funding requests on time through the official Engage form while following SGA and university guidelines. This funding ensures student organizations have fair access to resources and that student fees are used responsibly to support meaningful student-led activities across campus.

Step 1: Confirm Organization Eligibility
- Ensure your student Organization:
  - Is officially registered with Campus Engagement
  - Has a UIW bank account set up through the Comptroller's Office
  - Has emailed sgapresident@uiwtx.edu requesting to be added to the SGA House of Representatives

- Step 2: Submit a Funding Inquiry
  - Submit your Funding Inquiry Form on Engage
  - Include event details, goals, and an estimated budget
  - Submit 4-6 weeks prior to your event

- Step 3: Funding Review
  - The Funding Review Committee (FRC) will review your request
  - You will be contacted within two weeks
  - you will receive an Engage notification indicating approval or denial

- Step 4: If Approved
  - Follow all UIW purchasing guidelines
  - Tag @uiw_sga, so we can highlight your Organization
