To Our Fellow Trojans: 

The members of Undergraduate Student Government commend your pursuit of funding for your student organization.  The first of many steps in the USC Undergraduate Student Government funding process is this application. After determining the appropriate board for your event, please submit that board’s application directly to that board’s director. If you have any questions concerning which board is appropriate for your event, please contact Jenn Guan, USG Treasurer, at usgfunds@usc.edu.

Academic Research Fund

All USC undergraduates conducting research in any field are welcome and encouraged to apply for funding from the Academic Research Fund. Funding will be provided to help undergraduates conduct research projects, attend academic conferences and pursue other academic extracurricular activities.

Philanthropy Fund

Philanthropy Fund provides funds for organizations to do hands on community service and outreach.

Discretionary Fund

Discretionary Fund provides funding for campus organizations and events to supplement the groups’ purpose and membership activities.

Leadership Fund

Leadership Fund provides funding for events and activities designed to foster leadership development.

Professional Fund

Professional Fund provides funding for events sponsored by campus organizations that allow students an opportunity to engage in events that provide a chance to meet professionals in various fields.

After looking through these forms you may be discouraged because of the detail and work required for the chance of funding.  We realize how you feel but assure you that all these forms are necessary in determining how to best spend the student's money.  Each of us in turn pledges to be as helpful as possible throughout your application process. Please read through all of the funding board's policy before you being your application.
