Welcome to the Student Government Association (SGA)! We're excited you're here and interested in learning more about how we serve the student body.

Throughout our website, you'll find information about SGA, legislation passed by the Senate to enhance the student experience, recordings of previous Senate meetings, and details about the student leaders who represent you. 

We encourage you to get involved by participating in First Year Senate, attending town halls, joining campus initiatives, and connecting with us on social media. If you have questions, concerns, or ideas, we invite you to reach out to any member of SGA. We are committed to representing your voice, advocating for your interests, and working to make a positive impact 
on the student experience. 

RSO Funding- Finding your answer!

Most questions are already answered. Here is where to look.

START WITH THESE TWO

• The Quick Reference is one page and covers programming and travel side by side. Caps, deadlines, what is fundable, where to go in TigerZone. If your question has a short answer, it is here.
• The Mini Finance Handbook explains how the whole thing works, with shared definitions and a combined FAQ. If you are new, start here.

Both are on the SGA Funding page, along with the full process maps, the checklists, the forms, and the step-by-step submission guides.
