One of the most popular benefits of being a registered student organization is the ability to apply for funding through the University of Oklahoma Student Association (UOSA) primary allocation process. UOSA receives a portion of the University’s Student Activity Fees each year and in turn distributes it to registered student organizations for use. The allocation process takes place early each spring semester and involves an application, budget, and interview/meeting requirement.

In order to be (or remain) eligible for the UOSA primary funding allocations, a group must be registered for a full year and must submit its completed re-registration paperwork by the fourth week of the fall semester. The primary funding process is handled entirely by the UOSA office and more information can be found at this link: http://www.ou.edu/uosabudget/

The UOSA office also offers the option of emergency funding to registered student organizations. Emergency funding can only be requested once a year and involves an application and interview process. More information about emergency funding is available on the link above.

Other on-campus funding opportunities available to registered student groups on campus are:
Student Affairs departmental funding – visit OMU 265 to pick up an application
Student Life departmental funding – visit OMU 370 to pick up an application
Housing & Food Services Co-Sponsorship
Union Programming Board Co-Sponsorship
Coca-Cola Product or Monetary Funding

Registered student organizations are also encouraged to come up with unique ways to raise money outside of University funding requests. This may involve working with local organizations and businesses for fundraiser opportunities, or soliciting funds through special events.
