Applying for Segregated Fee Funding

Segregated Fee Funding

Student Senate allocates money on an annual basis for events and activities of recognized student organizations on campus. The Finance Commission of Student Senate manages this process. They allocate these funds based on rules set forth by the UW-System Board of Regents PP820 as well as the UWEC Student Organization Commission (SOC) Standing Policies and various university spending guidelines. Each year allocation rules are set by the SOC based on the amount of available funds within the various pools, and the amount of funds requested.

Annual Segregated Fee Funding Process

Student organizations should utilize this as a primary source if applying for funding. The SOC establishes a deadline for this process on an annual basis. It's important to note that organizations are applying for funding for the upcoming fiscal year through this process, not the current fiscal year. (Fiscal year runs from July 1st through June 30th of the following year.)

Segregated Fee Annual Funding Application (opens Nov. 1st through Feb. 8th)

Special Allocation Funding Process

The special allocation fund rules are updated on an annual basis by the SOC and are ongoing throughout the academic year. These funds can only be awarded if your organization qualifies and did not receive an allocation within the prior academic year. Special Allocation Funding Application
