The following criteria and point system will be used to evaluate the base criteria for allocating club funding. Understanding each club has unique goals/objectives, these criteria serve as a baseline for evaluation and additional factors may or may not be considered in determining the final allocation amount. These criteria were developed to provide increased transparency and objectivity and to fairly allocate funds to student clubs.
