The GSA recognizes the importance of student organized activities. As such, to help defray the cost of sponsoring and organizing events and programming, applicant groups are eligible to receive between $50 and $600 per GSA fiscal year (May to April) per event or program.

The Grant for Student Organizations is for activities like academic conferences, colloquia, speaker presentations, panels, workshops, and social events that contribute to graduate students’ education and community. This grant replaces the old Departmental Capital, Social, and Academic Grants, though capital purchases should be made through the Councillor Credit system.

• Applicant groups are eligible to receive between $50 and $600 per GSA fiscal year (May to April) per event or program.
• Grants operate on a reimbursement basis, and groups must apply in advance to get approval before incurring your expenses.
• Applications will not be processed without complete budget information.
• To receive a reimbursement, applicant groups must submit receipts after the approval of the budget and once the expenses have been incurred.
• Alcohol is not an eligible expense to receive funding.
• Funding cannot be used to cover more than the expenses incurred
• Information about the event or programming should be provided electronically to the GSA for inclusion on the GSA website and within the Grad Bulletin email newsletter.  

The applications will be opened from October 17th and will close on November 7th, 2024 at 4pm EST. No exceptions will be made after this deadline. Please do not email any applications after this deadline as they will not be considered.
