Few students are aware of the influence the senate has over the money they pay in the form of fees.
The senate keeps half of this amount, and CAB takes the other half. Recognized organizations can apply for funding in the spring for the following year by submitting a detailed budget to the senate. This budget can include money for supplies, trips, printing, and events. Organizations who are awarded funding must submit a record of their expenditures four times a year and a final report at the end of the year, as well as send a representative to a fall financial procedure meeting and a spring budgeting meeting. For example some groups receive significant amounts of money.
