The ASSC Governing Council recognizes that clubs, organizations, faculty and staff often propose programs that will benefit the entire campus but are beyond the financial means of their budgets. For this reason the Governing Council budgets a limited amount of funds to help support and cosponsor these activities on campus. Student Clubs within the Skyline Organization and Club Council (SOCC) may apply for a grant of $500.00 per semester.

For requests less than or equal to $500, apply for the SOCC grant. For requests greater than $500, request funds from the ASSC. If you are not a SOCC member, you must make all funding requests to the ASSC regardless of amount.

Steps to apply to the ASSC for funding:

  1. Email Ryan Samn at samnr@smccd.edu at least 4 weeks in advance of the event/purchase.
  2. Your request is reviewed by the ASSC Executive Council, Vice President, and Advisors.
  3. Your designated contact person will then be notified of the date and time that your proposal will be up for consideration before the ASSC Governing Council.
  4. At the ASSC Governing Council meeting, your representative will read your proposal, answer questions, and clarify or provide any additional information not clearly stated in requests for funding.
  5. If the proposal is approved the event should then be advertised as a cosponsored activity. This means that all flyers, banners, billets, newspaper ads and any other advertising for the event must display the following phrase, “co-sponsored by the Associated Students of Skyline College.”
