About the Committee

The Graduate and Professional Allocations Committee (GPAC) reviews funding requests from over 160 graduate and professional student organizations and makes funding recommendations to the Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG).

What We Do

GPAC is made up of students representing the seven GPSG member governments: the Graduate College, Carver College of Medicine, College of Dentistry, College of Law, College of Pharmacy, College of Public Health and College of Nursing. GPAC primarily funds events hosted by graduate and professional student organizations. Some events hosted by USG-registered student organizations will be considered for funding by GPAC if the event reaches graduate and professional students and GPSG funding supplements USG funding. GPAC’s undergraduate counterpart is the Student Auditing Budgeting and Allocations Committee (SABAC). GPAC also works to broaden its reach among student organizations through its college representatives, events and outreach.
