Organizations wanting to receive funding from the Government of the Student Body during the 2011-2012 academic year must attend at least one informational session in order to be considered for funding.

The sessions will involve an explanation of the regular allocations process.

After an organization attends one of the informational sessions, an online budget request system will be unlocked. The organizations must enter their projected budget for the 2011-2012 academic year into this form.

“It does require a lot of planning ahead from the organizations,” said Anthony Maly, GSB financial director [corrected from: treasurer] and senior in political science.

Finalized budgets need to be submitted online by Feb. 11 at midnight.

Maly said the organizations will know whether or not they will receive funding by the end of April.

Information on the priorities and criteria for funding can be found on the GSB website.
