Events may be funded Departmentally or by Interdisciplinary Funds.

The amount of departmental funding is limited by the number of students in the department. It is awarded based on the representative's attendance at the bi-monthly SASgov General Assembly. These funds may be used at each department’s discretion, but do not carry over from year to year. Before applying for departmental funding, please make sure you have discussed this with your department's respective student body organization. Make sure you choose what to purchase wisely. For approval of purchases from non-preferred vendors, please email the VP of Finance at sasgov-finance@sas.upenn.edu. Applications are accepted year-round. 

Interdisciplinary funding is designed to facilitate departmental co-hosting of academic or social events. Departments apply jointly. You may request funding for food/catering at conferences/symposia your department is hosting or travel, lodging or honoraria for speakers.

ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF EVENT
