RSO Seed Funding Policy

Newly recognized RSOs are eligible to be awarded up to $300 of one-time seed funding. The award is managed by SLIC and ASI, once organizations receive notification of recognition (around Sept 30 and Jan 31 each year). Once approved, RSO leaders will receive a confirmation from ASI regarding the fund transfer into their AS club account. 

RSOs are required to submit a Seed Funding Summary Report to the ASI VP of Finance within 30 days of usage of the funds. If the funds provided are not used by May 1st of that academic year, ASI reserves the right to rescind the funds from the RSO.
