Make a Funding Request
The ASSC Governing Council recognizes that clubs, organizations, faculty and staff often propose programs that will benefit the entire campus but are beyond the financial means of their budgets. For this reason the Governing Council budgets a limited amount of funds to help support and cosponsor these activities on campus. Student Clubs within the Skyline Organization and Club Council (SOCC) may apply for a grant of $1500 max per academic year. The initial Fall semester funding request is capped at a maximum of $1,000. Any subsequent requests will be limited to the remaining balance of the grant funding. Funding requests are made once per semester.
Steps to apply to the ASSC for funding:
- Go to the ASSC page of Skyline College’s website and fill out the Funding Request form at least one week in advance.
- After review, your designated contact person will then be notified of the date and time that your proposal will be up for consideration before the ASSC Governing Council.
- At the ASSC meeting, your representative will present your club/organization’s proposal, answer questions, and clarify or provide any additional information not clearly stated in requests for funding.
- If the proposal is approved the event should then be advertised as a cosponsored activity. This means that all flyers, banners, billets, newspaper ads and any other advertising for the event must display the following phrase, “co-sponsored by the Associated Students of Skyline College.
