Summer/Fall 2009: Allocations Closed
Allocations Results


The UA Finance Board is a group of ten undergraduates charged by the UA to make budget recommendations for the student group funding that the UA receives. For the 2009-2010 school year, approximately $180K has been given to the UA for student groups. The Finance Board's job is to review the budget requests from student groups and recommend the allocation of funds; throughout the semester, Finance Board members help student groups with the funding process from application to reimbursement.
