Government Working for You
Your student government is here to support you. We can help you find funding for your student organization or departmental aspirations, connect you to university and contracted services including access to legal services and transportation, and make your events happen with creative promotion and event support.

Students in pre-identified positions within eligible organizations may receive a fixed monthly allocation called a stipend. This program is coordinated by Student Government Engagement and Success and the Division of Student Life.
ASUO Budget Process
Each year, ASUO coordinates a process by which the Incidental Fund Budget and the amount of the Incidental Fee are determined for the next fiscal year. This budget annually includes funds for ASUO Recognized Student Organizations.
