Student Activity Fee Funding Overview

SGA Allocations

The Student Government Association of the University of Central Arkansas will allocate approximately $300,000 each academic year to university organizations and departments. The allocated funds are generated from the Student Activity Fee. Student organizations and departments who need assistance with campus events can request funds from the SGA.

Allocation Process

SAFA

The purpose of the SGA allocation process is to teach budget planning, encourage organizations to plan ahead, and to encourage greater diversity of activities funded through the student activity fee. For this reason 70% of the SGA student activity fee is allocated through the SAFA process. SAFA takes place each spring semester. During this process student organization and departments request funds for projects/events that will take place in the upcoming academic year. The SGA strongly recommends that organizations organize, plan, and participate in the SAFA process. For more information about SAFA see SAFA Funding.

SAFA EMERGENCY FUNDING

Emergency funding is a process that takes place throughout the academic year. The SGA realizes that there are new student organizations on campus that were unable to participate in the SAFA process. Also, certain student organizations may have funding needs that may not have been anticipated during the preceding spring semester. Therefore, the SGA has set aside 20% of the SGA student activity fee for these emergency situations. For more information about SAFA Emergency funding see SAFA Emergency Funding.

If your organization is interested or in need of funding contact your SGA. The Student Government Association will make every attempt to fund organizations, by adhering to the SAFA guidelines, to their fullest.
