Student Leadership Development Fund (SLDF)

House of Representatives
A Branch of the Student Government Association

SLDF Application Form

FACT: The purpose of the Student Leadership Development Fund is to help provide students of chartered organizations the opportunity to further their knowledge of leadership by participating in leadership, research, or competitive conferences and activities.

FACT: The fund is a REIMBURSEMENT and helps reimburse students for items such as conference registration fees, lodging for conference travel dates, and transportation to and from the event.

FACT: All chartered student organizations who have a SUCCESSFUL* charter with the Center for Student Development, who have financial need, and whose organization representative has attended at least 75% of the previous semester's House meetings and/or 75% of the previous and current semester's House meetings combined, before the submission of an application, is eligible to apply.

FACT: The maximum amount to request is $500 for an organization per semester. There is no limit on the number of times an organization can request funds as long as the limit of $500 per organization has not been met. We may be able to fund all or partial monies for your event. The size and number of people who will benefit from reimbursement will be taken into consideration as well as the nature of the event. A period of thirty days should be expected before reimbursement can possibly occur.

FACT: The SLDF committee is comprised of House delegates and can only meet and vote on applications when those delegates serve on the committee. Therefore, it is extremely important that House delegates serve on the committee or applications can not be considered for reimbursement. The committee will convene on an as needed basis.

FACT: The completed application and ALL applicable materials must be turned in no later than three (3) weeks before the conference. A committee will review applications and applicants will receive written notification of approval or denial. Receipts must be turned in immediately following the event and must be received by the House of Representatives office in order to receive reimbursement within two (2) weeks.

FACT: Due to the academic schedule, no applications will be reviewed in December or May for reimbursement.

* Organizations must have turned in a Student Organization Charter Renewal or Application and have the organization's current constitution and bylaws on record with the Center for Student Development.
