About the Finance Committee

The Finance Committee, composed of members appointed by the Treasurer, oversees GPSC's finances.  The committee assists the Treasurer in the budget process.  Additionally, the committee reviews applications for funding requests for each of the funding cycles throughout the academic year and makes funding recommendations to the General Assembly.


Applying for Funding

GPSC-affiliated student groups are eligible to apply for funding for events.  More information about the funding process is available here.  To learn more about becoming an affiliated student group, visit the Student Groups page.

2007 Fall Group Funding

Please see the attached spreadsheet of group funding awards. The funds will be transferred this week.

There are two columns after your group's name - approved and provisional. The approved amount is the amount that will be transferred this week. If you have a different amount in provisional, then you will get the difference if the GA approves the by-law amendment in a couple weeks. If you have the same amount in approved and provisional you will get that amount (only once, of course).

-David
