Apply for Funding for your Student Organization

SEAS hosts a Treasurer Training at the start of each semester (typically within the first month of classes) to go over the funding process for undergraduate SEAS-Affiliated Student Organizations. We will also share the new link for the funding application during this meeting. Although it makes most sense for treasurers to attend these trainings, we encourage all SEAS student organizational leaders to attend if you are interested in better understanding the SEAS funding process. We will send an email to RSVP to the SEASclubs@seas.harvard.edu list serv.
