Cover Letter• Successes: Large activities, recruitment, initiatives etc. • Shortcomings & Setbacks: What needs improvement or
additional effort?• Current Budget: Address your current budget and how you
spent, did not spend, or plan to spend it. Special emphasis should be put on how you plan to spend your remaining funds for this year; this is a key indicator EAC uses to determine your budget for next year.• Changes? (Did anything significantly change about the org that
the committee should be aware of? Any significant changes you feel would be relevant to the process.) • Anything else that you feel is relevant to the consideration of
your budget

strength• Current and past spending• Strength of new events• Compliance with EAC guidelines• Reasonability of the budget request in relation to
student fees• In general…the more information, the better

If I don’t submit a budget…?• On March 22nd you will receive a warning if you have
not submitted a budget• You will then be given one more week to submit a
budget• If a budget is not submitted after one week, at
maximum, you will receive 50% of your budget this year (this cannot be appealed)

Where does the money come from?• The student fee• Total budget/anticipated student
enrollment=Student Fee• Cuts in the budget don’t profit HUSC, they lower the
fee we pay• Possibility that you receive less money due to
decrease in enrollment•What’s the most effective use of student money?
