Frequently Asked Questions about the Student Activity Fee

  • Who may submit a proposal?
    Any current student, faculty, staff, student organization, or committee may request funding.

  • Who decides which proposals get funded?
    The SAF committee is made up of seven students and three staff. If you are interested in becoming part of the SAF committee, complete this application and submit it to one of the co-chairs. Applications are accepted year-round.
