Any student organization which is open to all
Texas Tech students regardless of race, creed,
color, sex, marital status, national origin,
age, sexual orientation or handicap is eligible
for funding from the Student Service Fee. The
Student
Government Association decides on organization
funding allocations during the spring semester.
Each year in October, letters are sent to registered
student organizations from the SGA Budget and
Finance Committee with information about schedules
for funding meetings and upcoming workshops.
Organizational Funding Procedures
- Pick up a "Funding Process Handbook"
from the Texas Tech Student Government Association,
Room 301, Student Union Building in October
or online at www.sga.ttu.edu.
- Check the status of your organization’s registration and address
in the Center for Campus Life, Suite 201 Student Union Building. Organizations
must be registered 10 days prior to the funding application deadline.
Active groups will receive an authentication stamp by the Center for
Campus Life verifying their registered status for the upcoming year.
This form must be submitted with the completed budget packets.
- Return the packet to the Student Government Association and sign
up for an interview with the Committee on Budget and Finance.
- After budget interviews, the committee on
Budget and Finance will begin meeting to develop
and draft a complete allocation proposal for
all eligible student organizations. The Funding
Appropriations Bill will be presented to the
Student Senate for their consideration and
approval. Once approved by the Student Senate,
the Texas Tech Student Government Association
President will sign it into law.
- A letter is drafted by the Committee on Budget and Finance Chairperson
and mailed to each organization informing them of their allocation
and spending priorities for the following fiscal year. An organization's
eligibility to receive funding is entirely subject to the current
Student Senate Committee on Budget and Finance interpretations of
the regulations of the Student Government Association.
