Finance Policy
Section 6.1
Article B. The purpose of the SGC Finance Committee is to assure that the funds of the SGA are properly handled for the benefit of all students. To this end, the Finance Committee will hear presentations on, investigate, and deliberate over all requests for funding in a timely and judicious manner.
This committee is headed by the Comptroller Christina “Raven” Morales and Chair Marcos Oyola, and is also comprised of five other SGA Senators.
The Finance Committee oversees a $25,000 budget provided by Student Activity and Service fees that all students pay. It is the committee’s responsibility to ensure that these funds are allocated in a manner that will benefit as many Florida International University students as possible.
If a student or group of students needs funding and has exhausted every resource possible for other sources of funding then the SGA Finance Committee should be considered as a possible source of funding.
Anyone interested in requesting funding please make sure that you have met the criteria and are abiding by the Finance Committee Guidelines, Rules, & Policies.
