Funding for CU Engineering Student Organizations/Societies
Each fall the college accepts applications for funding from engineering student organizations. The deadline for fall is September 30. Organizations will be notified of funding decisions by mid-October. If all funding is not allocated the application will be open again in the spring. Deadline to submit for spring funding is February 15. For questions contact shraon.e.anderson@colorado.edu
Funding is also available through the Center for Student Involvement.
