2021-2022 GSA Operating Budget

The current operating budget for the 2021-2022 academic year is given below. All GSA internal committee’s are requested to check the balance available with their committee’s budget line-item before embarking on new projects or events.

Budget

The GSA receives its funding from student fees that all graduate students pay annually. As of the FY2016-17 academic year, fees were set at $17/student. The operating budget for the GSA is approximately $110,000 a year. A significant portion of our budget is given to individual chapters to spend on departmental events and also to students pursuing research interests through conferences and workshops.

The GSA has a line-item budget approved each year by the GSA council and externally at the University Budget Office. For questions or comments about the budget, please contact our treasurer.

Each chapter is given a rebate based on its size and its participation in the GSA. Please contact the treasurer for more information on how the rebates are calculated.
