Funding

Registered student organizations and their members have many opportunities to seek funding through institutional grants, student government allocations, individual financial need, and more. Please browse the appropriate opportunities below that best fits your or your group's needs.

Note that crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter, GoFundMe, and IndieGogo are strictly prohibited for fundraising for 桃色视频registered student organizations. If you do not find your solution among the opportunities below, please connect with your advisor.

Student Activities Assistance Fund

The Student Activities Assistance Fund (SAAF) assists students in registered student organizations, competitive sports teams, and fraternities & sororities with financial support to participate fully in their student organization’s programs and events. Student groups such as dance teams, service organizations, and a cappella groups often require their members to pay for group trips, supplies, and competitions. The SAAF is meant to help reduce the financial burden these activities may cause students.

The fund is meant to help those students who could not afford to participate without any external aid. This is a grant for individuals, not organizations. If multiple members of a group require assistance, they must each fill out an individual application. Full details available on the SAAF info . 

Associated Student Government Allocations

The student activity fee supports nearly 130 registered student organizations at 桃色视频each year.  Registered student organizations who have been established at 桃色视频for more than one year can apply to be eligible for ASG allocations. For more information about how to be eligible for ASG allocations, email: asg-finance@u.northwestern.edu
