Types of Funding and Eligibility

Small Grant

    A program of small funding is available to organizations which have a special focus to their activities and programs. Small grant awards are limited to a maximum of $1,500 per year per organization. Small grant hearings are scheduled on an as needed basis, and organizations are encouraged to submit small grant requests at least thirty days prior to the scheduled event in order to allow adequate review time. Fourteen-day exceptions may be made on a case-by- case basis. The request must be in the format prescribed. Organizations may not receive small grant funding and annual funding in the same fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. All organization's small grant funds will be maintained in the Student Organization Accounting Office.

    Eligible organizations have registered with the Student Activities Office and have not received Annual Funding for the current fiscal year.

Annual Funding

    A program of annual funding is available to those organizations whose programs and activities are widely varied and recur over the course of the entire fiscal year. Annual hearings are conducted in the spring semester for annual funding requests for the following fiscal year. Organizations must submit budget requests in the prescribed format by the designated deadline. Requests submitted after the deadline will not be considered for annual funding in the same fiscal year. Funds will be maintained in the Student Organization Accounting Office located in Squires 225K. Due to limited financial resources organizations may not be funded in full. Information is sent to eligible organizations in November of each year.

    Eligible organizations have registered with the Student Activities Office by the Registration Deadline in the fall.

The contingency funding program is designed to address unforeseen needs relating to existing or new programs arising in the course of the fiscal year. Contingency hearings are scheduled on an as needed basis. Organizations are encouraged to submit realistic and objective requests at least thirty days prior to the scheduled event in order to allow adequate review time. Fourteen-day exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. The request must be submitted in the format prescribed by the Board. Organization's contingency funds will be maintained in the Student Organization Accounting Office located in Squires 225K.

Alcohol Free Programming Fund of Virginia Tech

    The Alcohol-Free Program Fund of Virginia Tech has been established to support on-campus programs sponsored by student organizations on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Registered Student Organizations are eligible to apply for these funds. The purpose of this program is to encourage social/entertainment activities that provide interesting alternatives to students who might otherwise engage in high risk drinking. The program will focus on increasing advertising for events and creating new small-scale events. While the focus will be on smaller events, some large events will be funded. The fund was established by the Board of Visitors and is to be administered and allocated through UUSA. The Alcohol Free Programming Fund is administered by Student Activities Leadership Development.
