Club Funding
Please review all GPSC club funding policies before you begin the application process. Submit all correspondence concerning Club Funding to gpscgrant@email.arizona.edu
The GPSC is interested in funding clubs that support graduate student interests. A group of students may obtain up to $500 for annual start up expenses for a club whose membership is majority graduate-professional students.
If your organization is holding a special event, or something outside
of the costs of starting up a new club, you may apply for special club
funding.
Although there is no cap on the amount of funding that may be requested,
groups should be aware that the financial resources of the GPSC are limited,
and that there are many other groups who would also like to receive funding.
For this reason, requests that accurately reflect the resources needed
to hold a proposed event (or carry out a proposed project) will be viewed
positively. Similarly, evidence of efforts on behalf of a group to seek
funding from other sources will be viewed positively. Moreover, groups
should not expect the GPSC to fund the entire cost of 'big ticket' projects
or events.
