Charge of the Committee
AS Finance Committee is an Administrative Committee under the Office of the Internal Vice President. ASFC serves the UC Santa Barbara student body by facilitating the financial allocation of student fees. By streamlining the budgetary process from outreach to student organizations, the committee seeks to make funds easier to access. We make it possible to host programs, events, and other student expenditures, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve and grow.
Each quarter, every UCSB undergraduate pays a fee of around $240 to the Associated Students. This fee supports a wide variety of operations of Associated Students that benefit the students of UCSB, the campus, and the surrounding community. The charge of the AS Finance and Business Committee is to help registered student organizations put on successful events, provide necessary student services, hold conferences, and fund championship aspiring teams through the procurement of funds.
