Secondary funds were created because student groups had leftover money last year. They help supplement the primary funding the groups received earlier this year.
Secondary funding is funding that was left over from last fiscal year.
Student groups are vying for a chunk of the the cash in this general account. In order to be eligible for the money, however, the groups must adhere to strict guidelines. Many of the guidelines enumerated certain items, such as lodging and gas, the finance committee decided they will not fund for any group. Many of the student groups said they were happy with the amount of money they received and were generally satisfied with the secondary funding process. It went well because I'm assuming they took our request seriously, which I appreciate.
