Every semester, the Appropriations Board allocates roughly $114,000 to eligible recognized student clubs and organizations at the University of Arizona. These funds help support:

• Hosting events
• Attending conferences or competitions
• Purchasing supplies, merch, or equipment 

Your request should align with UA’s educational mission and enhance the campus experience — basically, it should benefit the Wildcat community in some meaningful way.

We have a limited funding available and funds are never guaranteed. Do not rely on funding through Student Engagement & Traditions (SET) as your sole source of financial support.
