SGA Committees

SGA committees are another way students' voices can be heard. Members of Student Government are responsible for taking part in these various committees, and are given the power to make critical decisions that impact the future of Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus.

Allocations

SGA funds should provide students with a means for intellectual, cultural and social development on campus. The Allocations Committee is a subcommittee of the K-State Salina Student Government Association, and it bears the responsibility of allocating and appropriating funds through activity fees to the various clubs and organizations at K-State Salina.

Educational Opportunity Fund

Use of EOF is limited to the following purposes:

• Academic scholarships and fellowships for both graduate and undergraduate students.
• Need-based grants, including awards to students with special expenses, or groups of students who have been historically under-represented in higher education.
• Salaries or grants for students participating in public and community services programs.
• Salaries for students employed in campus student services programs.

The EOF committee should be composed of the Student Body Vice President, the Director of Financial Aid, the Assistant Director of College Advancement for Student Life, and six students representing diverse campus constituencies. The committee should invite proposals for funding from the EOF, conduct a hearing and review process, and prepare a budget for expenditures from the funding in the upcoming fiscal year. The budget should specify the amount for each program funded and the purpose of the program.
