Allocations Chairman Kenton Lindsey Treasurer Nicholas Glassman Vice President Brent Hirsch

What is Allocations? Allocations is a budget that is comprised of funds collected by students fees. The purpose of allocations is to provide funding for predetermined events and trips for organizations for the following fiscal year (2018-2019).

Who can apply for Allocations? Any FHSU Organization or approved waiver organization qualify for allocations funding. Student organizations requesting funds from SGA must be registered through the Center for Student Involvement or on Tiger[Link]. https://tigerlink.fhsu.edu/

Is Allocations right for you? Any trip request or speaker/event request under $1000 might be recommended to Appropriations. Any equipment request under $1500 might be recommended to Appropriations. What is Appropriations? Appropriations funding is a limited fund reserve for student organizations that have NOT received funding through Allocations.

Allocations is changing! Last year, Student Government changed the way that student organizations apply for Allocations money. Instead of paper forms, we have moved to an entirely digital process, to create a more efficient system for both those organizations applying for Allocations, and the committee that reviews those applications. Furthermore, this system will store data from this year forward, enabling student organizations the opportunity to keep better records of their finances.
