Office of Multicultural Affairs – Grant Request

The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) is committed to supporting student groups by offering co-sponsorship money for various programs and events that align with the mission of our office.

Rules & Regulations –Grant money cannot be used to purchase apparel or for conferences and travel. The entire form and questions must be filled out in its entirety to be considered for the grant. You may apply for more than one grant in the same form.

The grant fund will reimburse the club for a predetermined amount (their award; up to $1000) after the event; once receipt and expenses are reviewed.

1.  Purchases are expensed onto their SGA Account

2.  Receipts are reviewed

3.  The appropriate grant amount (more or less) us transferred to their SGA Account as reimbursement

Additional funds will be awarded to groups who don’t typically collaborate and who seek to create greater awareness and understanding on a topic not commonly discussed. This may include an intersectional program, ally-ship between different identities, or bridging topics and issues in an unconventional way to address social justice.

An OMA Advisor can help talk this through if you are interested.
