Budget & Finance
Each year the Southern New Hampshire University Student Government Association manages over one million dollars in Comprehensive Fee funds collected each semester from undergraduate and graduate students at Southern New Hampshire University. Operating as an independent 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization, the Student Government Association distributes these funds to over 60 student-run clubs and organizations on campus. These funds can be used for general funding, special events, conferences, and off-campus trips. A portion of these funds is also disbursed to support the Robert A. Freese Student Center, its employees, and services.
Mission
The mission of the Student Government Association Budget and Finance Committee is to provide clubs and organizations across Southern New Hampshire University community with the tools and resources necessary to allow them to flourish.
The Budget and Finance Committee hears three different types of request from clubs and organizations:
​​

-
Conference Funds Requests:
-
A conference request gives clubs the ability to attend a conference to network, gain professional experiences, and bring valuable information back to campus.
-
-
Capital Funds Requests:
-
