This document outlines the process for requesting additional funding from RIT's Student Government. It states that recognized clubs, Greek organizations, academic clubs, major student organizations, and individual students may request funding. The finance committee meets weekly to review funding applications. Applications must be submitted by Tuesday at 5pm and include information about expenses and income. Requests under $500 are reviewed by the finance director, while requests over $500 go before the committee. The application and approval process is different for travel versus other events. Steps for using awarded funds and appealing funding decisions are also described.
