The Student Governance Fund provides additional financial support to student organizations that are otherwise restricted by state funding limitations, providing a more accessible and flexible funding source for their programs. This additional funding will help UMW's student-run clubs and organizations to go above and beyond in campus programming, student development, and responding to student needs. The Finance Committee, a student-led group, disperses dollars from the Student Governance Fund to approved organizations for student activities. Organizations that will benefit from your gift to the Student Governance Fund include:
Student Government Association (SGA)

SGA’s role is to address campus issues ranging from academic affairs to facilities and services.
