SGA Funding
Effective September 30, 2026
- Use a non-University email address, not your UofM address. This is the step most people get wrong.
- Enter your UID number where it asks for a Social Security number. No W-9 required.
- Approved within 48 hours excluding weekends and holidays, usually same day.
Student Organization Fund (SOF) Programming Request
This section covers a single, clear, and current process for Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) requesting SOF Programming funding, covering event programming, printed materials, and general operational needs. It replaces outdated and conflicting guidance from prior years, consolidates the terminology confusion between former categories (Operational Assistance, SEA, SAFA), and defines a workflow that reduces stress for student leaders, faculty/staff advisors, and University staff processing these requests.

SGA Travel Funding
This section covers a clear, current process for Travel Funding requests, distinct from the SOF Programming Request process. Travel Funding supports students attending conferences, academic presentations, or leadership programs that bring positive recognition to the University of Memphis. This process covers the Undergraduate/Law shared process in detail and notes the separate Graduate process for completeness.
