Obtaining Funding

for Student Organizations

The Associated Students at the University of Wyoming offers funding for Student Organizations (SO) for hosting events,  attending conferences and competitions, and marketing new student organizations. These funds come directly from the ASUW student fee. The following page offers guidance for student organizations seeking funding.

For more information regarding SO funding and our finance policy, and for support in using the funds if they are received, contact the Director of Student Organizations at asuwexc7@uwyo.edu or visit the ASUW office in Union Room 103!
