HUB Event Funds for RSOs

University of Washington HUB Event Fund for Registered Student Organizations has been created to allocate money to support the events, programs, and activities of Registered Student Organizations (RSOs). The Fund is intended to support the ability of RSOs to enrich campus culture, foster student empowerment, and enhance community impact. The funding is managed and distributed through the Student Activities Office.

How much money is available?

The maximum funding available per RSO per academic year is $500 per RSO. The total amount of money that is in the fund varies from year to year, as does the number of RSO’s applying to the fund. Once the total amount of funding is awarded, the application will be closed.

Who can apply?

Any Registered Student Organization currently registered and in good standing with the Student Activities Office, is eligible to apply. Requests are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
