Funding Eligibility

Very generally, anyone who wishes to plan or host an event that is open to all Amherst College students and abides by the committee's funding policies is eligible for funding. This usually falls within two categories:

Clubs without Club Budgets

Clubs without a club budget can and should come to the BC's weekly discreionary meetings to secure funding for events; after all, it is one of the ways that the BC determines whether or not to award a club with a club budget.

Clubs with Club Budgets

Even though a club may have a club budget, it can still come to the BC's weekly discreionary meetings to request additional funding, either because they did not request enough money in their club budget or because they require extra funds to put on another event.
