Overview
Student Group Initial Funding helps to provide necessary resources to student groups that have just been formed and recognized by ASA. However, exceptions to the “newly formed” requirement may apply and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In addition to financial resources, the GSC will assist with managing/growing the new student group whenever possible.
