Apply for Funding
Student Services Fee funds are available to all departments and units within the Student Affairs division, and its purpose is to enhance the student experience at The University of Arizona.
Applicants for funding should be aware that the application form requires detailed information:
- a comprehensive description of the program or position in question
- a compelling demonstration of need
- a robust budget
- a goal-setting plan, including defining how goals will be measured
- an explanation of how the program or position addresses the five student priorities identified in the annual Student Services Fee survey
In order to insure that departments are not sending similar proposals for funding, applicants are required to identify the department head responsible for the proposal. Should Student Services Fee Advisory Board (SSFAB) members feel this is the case, they will likely consider only one proposal for the department.
Proposals should be clear, concise, informative, and no longer than five pages. Proposals are the primary source of information for members of the SSFAB, who refer to them frequently when making funding decisions.
Applicants may be contacted directly by SSFAB members for points of clarification, and are encouraged to list alternative options in their proposals. While the SSFAB would like to fund every great idea, it's not feasible to do so. Alternative options allow the Board to form an effective compromise with the applicant instead of rejecting the proposal outright.
