Each year the Office of Student Engagement makes funding available for Registered Student Organizations to host events, travel to conferences, and many other activities for the enhancement of student life at A&M-Commerce. These funds are approved and distributed by the Student Organization Allocations Committee (SOAC).
All Registered Student Organizations that are in good standing are eligible to apply for funding through SOAC. Please refer to the Funding Guidelines and the application documents at the links below to find out more about funding.
Please direct questions about SOAC Funding to Jeremy Sippel (jeremy.sippel@tamuc.edu).
All SOAC Applications must be turned in by the application submission deadline listed below for your request to be heard at one of the upcoming SOAC meeting dates prior to your event or travel. The deadline is set 3 weeks in advance of each SOAC meeting. If you do not meet the deadline your request may be denied.
