Scholarships and Funding

Student Government (SG) aims to support every single student with its financial resources. Our financial resources fit into two categories: student scholarships and organization funding/scholarships. In budgeting, appropriations refer to formally set aside money for a specific purpose. Scholarships refer to funds awarded to individuals for educational purposes rather than operational or programmatic spending.
