What is Budgeting? The best way for organizations and individual parties to acquire SFC funds is through budgeting. Every semester, organizations are welcome to submit semesterly (or yearly, if it is fall semester) budgets to be reviewed by the Student Finance Committee. SFC reserves the right to deny any budget requests that violate our policies, made in accordance with Oberlin College's Office of Student Involvement . If you submit a budget and SFC funds it partially or in full, you will be able to access these funds at the beginning of the proceeding semester. If your organization did not submit a budget for the following semester, your available funds will be $0. In order to acquire funds from that state, your organization will need to ad hoc. You can learn more about how to craft a budget here. You can learn more about our policies here. You can learn more about the ad hoc process here.
