The Student Finance Committee (SFC) is a body of students that oversees the allocation, use, and management of the Student Activity Fund (SAF) to all student organizations and student projects at Oberlin College. This fund is generated from a portion of each student’s tuition (the Student Activity Fee), along with rollover from previous years. The current Student Activity Fee is $296/semester.
The Student Finance Committee consists of two co-chairs, the Head and Assistant Treasurer, controllers, and 5 other committee members that hold positions relevant to the internal maintenance of the committee: two ad-hoc liaisons, a reallocation liaison, a policy officer, and a community outreach liaison. The Student Finance Committee has 9 voting members: the two co-chairs, all other committee members, and the Head and Assistant Treasurers. The voting members of the committee work to judiciously allocate funds from the SAF to student organizations and independent parties. These allocations must be in accordance with SFC policies and Oberlin College Policies provided by the Office of Student Involvement.
The committee allocates these funds through budget and ad hoc requests, and communicates approval or denial of funds via email ([email protected]). Additionally, all SFC forms must be submitted electronically via google forms that can be found on the website and in the treasurer handbook. We do not accept form submissions via email. The committee is excited to work with you all to help secure funding for your organizations.
