Budget Allocations Committee

Purpose

One of LSA SG’s primary goals is to make the Wolverine Experience available to all students by providing funding to Student Organizations. The Budget Allocations Committee accomplishes this by reviewing funding applications and rewarding funding to student organizations based on their impact on the LSA student body.

(NEW) Student Organization Grants

Starting Winter 2026, BAC will fund student organizations created this semester up to $100! This grant is intended to support student organizations with costs associated with launch, including but not limited to room rentals and advertising.

Student Organization Funding Requests Information

Who can apply?

Most student organizations are eligible for BAC funding. Preference will be given to those that impact a large number of LSA students and support LSA SG’s mission. Please see the BAC Operating Procedures for exceptions.

Please see BAC Operating Procedures.

When can I apply?

Applications are open all semester until the form closes!

How much can I apply for?

How Our Reimbursement System Works

In order to receive the maximum possible funding, RSO must fully understand BAC’s funding criteria.

Submit a Budget Application

All RSOs must submit a detailed budget request outlining expected event costs. Applications may be sent until the form is closed at the end of the semester.

BAC Reviews & Approves Funding

Our committee evaluates each request and allocates funding based on LSA-SG BAC Operating Procedures. Approvals are typically made at the following Tuesday BAC meeting and never past the second following BAC meeting.

LSA SG Votes

The LSA SG General Assembly has the final say on all BAC funding approvals.

Hold Your Event & Gather Critical Documentation

After your event, collect all itemized receipts associated with the approved budget, proof of following sustainability criteria, proof of following publication requirements, attendance, and pictures of the event.

(IMPORTANT) Submit Reimbursement Receipts and Reflection Form for Reimbursement

In order to receive reimbursement, please attach your receipts, photos/documentation, and reflection form to your original application.
