Organizations that wish to apply for co-sponsorship must apply at least 30 days in advance for $1,000 or less and 60 days in advance for more money. If the application for co-sponsorship is approved, SGA does not deposit the money into the organization’s account, but organizations bring pay slips to SGA and it will reimburse the group for expenses. Due to this process in the SGA Co-Sponsorship Guidelines, money has already been allocated for co-sponsorships, but it has not left SGA’s account.
