FAF Grants projects must originate in the College of Fine Arts, be advised by a College of Fine Arts faculty member, and may involve students from other colleges. (ASUU does not fund sponsored College of Fine Arts student organizations.)

FAF Grants funding is only available to CFA student groups that are registered as a Sponsored Student Organization in good standing with Student Leadership & Involvement, on the SLC campus. If you are a new/prospective student organization, you must seek official recognition from Student Leadership & Involvement. For more information visit the Student Leadership & Involvement website. Previously recognized student organizations must complete the annual renewal process as outlined by Student Leadership & Involvement, including, but not limited to, updating officer information on Campus Connect. Note: Sponsored Student Organizations utilizing FAF Grants funds must have a CFA faculty advisor.
2) Schedule a meeting with your Unit/Department Business Officer
Student org leaders & their Faculty Advisor must review the FAF Grants Policy Document to make sure that funding requests are FAF Grants eligible. Student org leaders & their Faculty Advisor are required to meet with their sponsoring Unit/Department Business Officer to review & discuss FAF Grants budgets & proposals. You are also encouraged to reach out to your FAF Grants Representatives to discuss your proposal to make sure it is eligible for funding.
