University of Maryland Student Government Association
What is the Group Help fund?
The Student Government Association understands that unexpected costs, emergencies and last minute snafus can prevent an organization from successfully having a program that will benefit the university community. In an effort to preserve student organization programming in the face of unexpected obstacles, the Student Government Association has established an emergency fund which organizations can take advantage of. Group Help grants can provide up to $1000 to fund items and costs that are essential to the success of a specific program.
How can my organization apply?
Organizations may apply for a Group Help grant by downloading an application, below, and submitting it in hard copy at least 5 business days prior to the event. Applications should be submitted to the Student Government Association Office (0209J Stamp Student Union) during normal business hours. Due to the understanding that requests for Group Help are time sensitive, applications are evaluated within 24-72 hours of their receipt.
Please remember that your organization is only eligible to apply if it recognized by Campus Programs and the Student Government Association. For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact David Berlin, the Vice President of Financial Affairs.
