Allocations

What is the Allocations Committee?

We recognize that all student organizations on campus play a vital role in shaping the Pitt student experience. The purpose of the Allocations Committee is to provide financial assistance by equitably distributing a portion of the $3.5 million Student Activities Fund to student organizations in need. The Committee consists of 13 undergraduate liaisons responsible for the Allocations process. 

Student organizations may request money through supplemental requests reviewed each week by Sunday at 11:59 PM. Only a limited number of requests may be heard each week, and submission by the deadline does not guarantee a hearing that week. The Committee meets on Thursday evenings to hear short presentations from each group that submitted a request.

For some requests, the Allocations Committee's decision is final. Requests over $2,500, as determined by the Allocations Manual, will be sent to the Board for further review at public meetings on Tuesday nights at 8:45 PM.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The Allocations Committee 

The Allocations Committee is comprised of a chairperson and twelve liaisons, whose role is to assist student groups in the Allocations process. Committee members hold weekly office hours during which they are available to answer questions, help with requests, and clarify policies and procedures. We strongly encourage every organization consults with their liaison before submitting a request.

See below for a list of liaison group assignments and office hours; please email your liaison if you are planning to attend their office hours.
