The Co-Sponsorship program assists Lamar University Registered Student Organizations with funding for campus events, organizational promotion, and educational travel. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis as long as funds remain available. If approved, the Registered Student Organization can request payments using these funds. Funds that were awarded and cannot be properly documented will be unavailable to the organization.
Co-Sponsorship requests must be submitted by an organization officer via LU Hub by the first Tuesday of each month.
To submit a request, navigate to the Budgeting page under "Money" on the group's LU Hub page. Select the appropriate budget and choose "Create Budget Request." Include all spending details related to the request.
A representative knowledgeable about the request must attend the Co-Sponsorship Committee meeting on the second Tuesday of the month, and the organization must also send a representative to the SGA House and Joint Sessions on the second and third Tuesday of the month.
After attending all three required meetings, the submission will be approved, and funds will be made available to the organization.
Awarded funds will be available up to 21 days after the event or travel date. To use these funds, select "Request Payment" on the Budgeting page under "Money" on the LU Hub group page. This opens the Payment Request form, where you can utilize Co-Sponsorship funds ("Allocated") in addition to Group Funds. Payment requests should be made on the appropriate item type line (e.g., reimbursement or payment for hotel accommodations should be requested from the "Lodging" line).
