Funding Request Information
Office of Student Life and the Associated Student Government (ASG) set aside money from Services and Activities Fees so student leaders may form clubs and host different activities for students, or participate in professional development to enhance students' academic careers.
For the 2025 to 2026 academic year funding for all student organizations is limited to $7,000. Through the application process, these funds will be awarded to student organizations interested in hosting activities focused on community building, or attending professional development events.
A committee of LWTech students will review applications, make a decision based on all available evidence, and award money to requests based on materials and the amount of funds available. This committee awards along a funding spectrum to zero dollars to a high percentage of the total cost of the event. Funding is not always guaranteed.
Process for Requesting Funding
- Any currently enrolled LWTech student involved in an officially chartered organization.
- Each request must have at least one faculty/staff sponsor who will attend the event/activity and one student planner.
- The student planner listed on the request will receive an email from the committee after a request is submitted asking to confirm that they are a planner/sponsor.
Funds may be used for opportunities for currently enrolled LWTech students that are not requirements of an instructional program. Student organizations request funds for a variety of activities, including on-campus activities or travel. Examples include:
- Training or test preparation (including paying for a trainer).
- Industry site tour or field trip.
- Conference for training, competition, or research presentation (and associated travel).
- Professional organization meetings.
- Professional organization membership for students.
- Supplies for a project or activity that builds skills.
- Seed money for fundraisers.
If traveling out of the State of Washington, college president permission is required.
In order to provide equitable opportunity to access funds and enough time to plan events, the committee will review applications when groups apply.
