About the Travel Fund

The Travel Fund is money that the Student Senate has set aside to defer travel expenses for those students within organizations attending conferences, academic competitions, and non-varsity/non-intramural athletic competitions outside the metropolitan area. 

Applying for the Travel Fund

In order to apply for these funds, your organization must:

1. Be a recognized student organization in good standing, not on probation status.

2. Complete the Travel Funds Request Form and return to SGA Appropriations mailbox, located in the SAC W318, by the deadline date.  Meetings begin at 6:00PM in the SGA office (SAC, W310) unless you are notified otherwise. Please see schedule for meeting deadlines and dates.  This form is due 7 days prior to the next meeting.

3. Attach registration form and brochure on proposed event.

4. Attach your annual budget to request form.

5. Attend both the Appropriations Committee meeting and the following Student Senate Meeting.

6. If your request receives final Student Senate approval, contact the SGA Unit Business Manager (zsfraz01@louisville.edu) the day after the Student Senate meeting for instructions on how to receive your award. Submit a one-page summary report following the event. 

Graduate students must apply for travel funds through the Graduate Student Council.  No double dipping with several SGA funding sources will be allowed.

If any of the above guidelines are violated, your organization may forfeit the opportunity to apply for SGA funds again.
