Funding
Club funding is a great financial resource for clubs to put on events, coordinate speakers, and travel to conferences. Our goal has always been to fund a diverse range of programming that directly benefits the undergraduate student body. All funding requests are made through Sun Devil Central.
Funding Training Required to Request
In order to request funds from USGD, it is required to complete annual funding training in order to become acquainted with deadlines, processes and rules/regulations for funding.
If you are requesting funding as an individual (professional development/travel), you must enroll in training and complete all necessary modules.
If you are requesting as an organization, please choose a Sun Devil Central registered officer to complete the canvas course and to also request funds. A member of your organization must be a registered officer in order to request funds on behalf of the organization.
