Student Activity Funding
A portion of the Student Initiated Fee is designated for Student Activity Funding (SAF) to improve the co-curricular environment for our students.
How do you request funds for an activity?
Funds are requested by completing the Student Activity Funding Request Form on Engage and attending the SAF Committee meeting to present your request.
Funding decisions are made by the attending student members of the SAF Committee and the student co-chair will email each requester of the committee decision.
