GSSC Co-Sponsorship

The General Studies Student Council is proud to offer students and student groups the opportunity to partner in creating a thriving campus community in Morningside Heights. For background, GSSC, in concert with the other three undergraduate student councils, wholly funds Funding at Columbia University (F@CU), which distributes funds to the six governing boards that represent all recognized student groups at Columbia University. The four council’s Vice Presidents of Finance also jointly chair the Joint Council Finance Committee (JCFC) that provides funding to individual student groups. 

 

In addition to F@CU and JCFC, GSSC provides recognized student groups and individual students with funding for events, travel to conferences (for students), etc. Please fill out the Google Form below to start your application. A member of the Finance Committee will contact you to schedule a presentation at one of our GSSC General Body meetings that meet on Tuesdays in the Satow Room on the 5th floor of Lerner at 8:15pm.
