ASO Funding Requests
Please note that this is NOT a guarantee for funding, but rather an opportunity for the students to have a voice in the funding process.
Senate meetings are on Tuesdays at 1pm, Finance meetings are on Wednesdays at 2pm.
The student leaders below will contact you with an agenda and meeting location at least 72 hours prior to the meeting you are presenting.
To be added to agendas, please send attached and below information to the following ASO Exec Team members:
ASO Treasurer Malcolm Lovelace - ASOT@piercecollege.edu
ASO Vice President Chloe Bassirat - ASOVP@piercecollege.edu
For the ASO finance request step-by-step process, please click on the item below entitled "ASO Funding Request Process" which includes the link to the fillable PDF for the Finance Request form. You will also need to provide additional breakdown for funding to accompany it and also submit the new campus form (Facilities Application Budget form).
The ASO officers (VP and Treasurer) can help you with any agenda questions.
- All funding requests must be first reviewed by the ASO Senate. Please contact the ASO Vice President and/or Advisor to be added to the ASO Senate agenda. Please note that ASO Senate and Finance meetings follow Brown Act and agendas must be posted 72 hours prior to the meeting. Late agenda requests will be deferred to the following week’s meeting.
- The ASO Finance Request form and the Facilites Application Budget Form must be submitted to the ASO Treasurer.
