APPROPRIATIONS


Chartered student organizations are eligible for funding appropriations from GPSA. 


Please read the Appropriation Information Sheet and Legislative Finance Standing Rules, available for download below.


Appropriation funding is primarily intended for:

  1. Capital expenditures

  2. One-time event funding

  3. Unforeseen expenditures


General operational funding is typically reserved for budget requests unless an organization was not able to participate in the most recent the budget process. 


The Executive and Legislative Finance Committees strongly encourage students in need of individual travel funding, for conferences or other professional development events, to apply to the GPSA Grants Committee.


Applications for travel funding that should be funded by Grants will NOT be eligible for appropriations funding. Council appropriations are primarily intended to support/defray costs for events hosted by chartered student organizations for a departmental or general campus audience.


Appropriations requests are reviewed by both the Executive Finance Committee (EFC) and the Legislative Finance Committee (LFC), and then forwarded -- with recommendations from both Finance Committees -- to the GPSA Council. Applicants will be notified of committee meeting dates.


In order to be considered, an Appropriation Request Form must be filled out and submitted by 5:00 p.m. on Friday the week before the LFC meeting. An Appropriation Request Form is available below on this page.  Organizations must fill out the form and submit it electronically to unmgpsafinance@gmail.com.


As noted on the Appropriation Info Sheet, a representative of any organization requesting funding must attend either the EFC meeting or the LFC meeting at which the request will be considered. A representative may attend both meetings, but is not required to do so.


Further Questions? Contact LFC Chair LisaMarie Turk at the address above or Council Chair Kris Miranda (kris.gpsa@gmail.com) or visit the GPSA Office, or call at (505) 277-3803.
