SAF-B

Once your organization has completed the registration process with the Office of Student Life, you are eligible to apply for funding from university sources. Organizations must be in good standing with the Office of Student Life to receive funding.

The major funding source for student organizations is the Student Activity Fee. Each quarter all full time undergraduates pay $25 that is held in a fund available to all registered undergraduate student organizations. Organizations may apply for the Student Activity Fee to help offset financial expenses to enhance the student experience at DePaul.

SAF-B Application Steps
  1. Fill out the SAF-B application
  2.  (must be typed)
  3. Fill out the budget planner

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
All funding applications are due by 5 p.m. on the application deadline date. Please note: Only 20 complete applications are accepted per hearing on a first-come, first-serve basis, so please complete the application in its entirety and submit it in person to either the Lincoln Park or Loop Student Life offices.

  Events less than one month away from a hearing date are not eligible for funding. Please make sure to check the SAF-B Hearing Dates & Deadlines  to ensure you are applying for the proper hearing date.

SAF-B Discretionary Funding
