RSO Funding at the University of Chicago
Access to the RSO Funding website is based on your organization’s roster in Blueprint. Your Primary Contact, President, and Treasurer have access to your budget history and application as well as any of your members holding the “Budget Team” position. If you need access you should contact your RSO leadership and have them assign you the Budget Team position in the Blueprint roster. If you have difficulty managing your roster or other difficulty accessing the system you can contact your RSO Advisor.
Student Government Finance Committee (SGFC)
SGFC is a committee of Student Government that meets weekly from Fifth Week of Fall through the end of Spring Quarter (or until the fund is exhausted). It is designed to fund events and programs that come up during the year and were not previously funded through Annual Allocations in the previous Spring Quarter. You can request funds from this committee for an event or even a capital improvement.
