Funding Sources

There are many funding sources on campus to support student organization activity. Below are funding boards that work directly with CSI and BuffConnect to provide funding for student organizations. Depending on the affiliation of your student organization and budget specifications, CSI liaisons will forward budgets to one or more boards for funding.

Student fee regulations are policies set by CUSG that govern the funding boards in how they allocate funds to student organizations. These policies guide CSI in the spending of CUSG student fees.
