GSG Funding for RSOs
GSG funding opportunities for RSOs (Recognized Student Organizations) support graduate student-run programming related to cultural, academic, and social enrichment.
GSG funding comes from the Student Programming Fee that all graduate students pay into. In that spirit, GSG General Funds are distributed to support RSO events that are open to all graduate students.
How to Apply for GSG RSO Funding
