Student Organization Recognition • Only recognized student organizations may apply for either immediate funds or the budgetary process. • To become a recognized student organization, visit: www.uni.edu/studentorgs/nisg/ studentorgs/apply
Immediate Funds • Can be applied for throughout the school year by student organizations who need funding for events not budgeted, etc. • Contingency Fund • Pepsi Fund • Diversity Matters • Intercollegiate Academic Fund • Applications and Guidelines available on the NISG website. www.uni.edu/nisg/funding • Our preference is to have student organizations apply for funding through the budgetary process.
Budgetary Process • Every spring semester, NISG holds a budgetary process where student organizations can request monies for multiple events or large sums of monies for their student organization to use for the upcoming school year. • Funds will not be available until July 1st
