Campus organizations presented requests to receive Services and Activities Fee funding with several groups factoring in losses caused by COVID-19.
To receive S&A Fee funding, nonacademic student groups must present to a committee with a proposed funding request and plans on allocating the money. The committee discussed in early April and will craft a recommendation to the Board of Regents for where the funds should be distributed.
The Regents will review the proposals in May for approval or rejection of the requests.
For the 2020-21 school year, $9.5 million was allocated for WSU organizations, such as ASWSU, the Children’s Center and University Recreation.
