Student Government - USC Upstate | University of South Carolina Upstate

Want to Get Involved?

Getting involved in Student Government Association is as easy as showing up for a meeting. Any student can come to a meeting and voice their opinion and bring issues to the floor. If you want to actually serve on the Student Government Association, start by joining a student organization or talking to someone in your academic program. We have senators for each academic school and student organization.

Special Projects Funding

The Student Government Association (SGA) is proud to support student organizations through dedicated funding. If you’re part of a student organization, you can apply for financial assistance to help achieve your goals and enhance campus life.

Applications are reviewed by the SGA, and funding is awarded based on a vote to approve or disapprove the requests. We encourage all student organizations to take advantage of this opportunity to bring their initiatives to life!

For more information on how to apply, email SGA@uscupstate.edu
