Finance

Every academic year, Lewis & Clark College students are charged a “Student Fee.” The Finance Committee (FIN) allocates this budget to student organizations in cooperation with the Office of Student Engagement. Various student clubs, organizations, and symposia are funded through the student-led efforts of FIN.

Student-run organizations requiring funds for specific purposes may appeal to the Finance Committee at any time during the school year.

FIN meets once a week to review appeal applications and make decisions on which projects will receive funding.

NOTE: The Finance Committee’s role differs in the Fall and Spring semesters. In fall, FIN handles budget appeals, whereas in spring, the committee focuses on reviewing full-year club budget requests.
