In an effort to serve your student organizations' needs GPSG will now be utilizing a funding model consisting of three equally funded periods. Each period, approximately $36,000 will be available for allocation. GPAC will be prioritizing requests based on the dates of expenditures. Please use the guidelines below to decide when to apply for funding to maximize your chances of successfully funding your organization. Requests occurring outside of the recommended time period will be considered if funds are available.
Applying for student org funding
Step 1: Log-on to your org's Engage page.
Step 2: If you don't have access to the treasury module on Engage, request it from a group admin.
Step 3: Complete the budget request form by going to Org Budget Requests → My Budget Requests → Create Request, and selecting the appropriate GPSG Funding Request form (Regular Funding Cycle vs. Rapid Funding Process).
Step 4: Wait for the review committee's recommendations (see 'Review Process' below).
Review Process and Maximum Funding Standards
All University of Iowa graduate and professional student organizations' requests for funding will be reviewed by the GPSG budget committee, called GPAC (Graduate & Professional Allocation Committee). When GPAC reviews your application for funds, they rely on annually revised GPAC Funding Guidelines and Tenets:

The Final Decision
GPAC does not make the final decision on student org funding; they make a recommendation to the GPSG delegates, who are elected representatives of the graduate and professional student body. Because the delegates make the final funding decision, student orgs wishing to contest GPAC's recommendation must make their case directly to the delegates. In order to do so, student orgs must alert the GPAC Chair of their intent to appear before the delegates via email at least 24 hours before GPSG is scheduled to meet. GPSG meetings are posted on the webpage.
