CUSG Capital Improvement Application

CUSG Capital Improvement Application

Each year the Clemson University Undergraduate Student Senate allocates $50,000 of Student Activity Fee funds to campus-wide capital improvements. These funds are to be used for physical, student-led projects that improve the value of the Clemson experience and make campus an even more beautiful place!

The Undergraduate Student Senate currently has $50,000 available for allocation this fiscal year. Capital improvements should be a minimum of $10,000. Some past project allocations have included:

Military Heritage Plaza
Michelin Career Center Clothes Closet
Clemson University sign on Bowman Field
Contributions to the Scroll of Honor Memorial
AED/Trauma Kits

The senate welcomes proposals from any member of the Clemson family, including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff. Interested students must arrange a partnership with a full-time employee who will act as a project sponsor to ensure oversight and completion of the project.

Proposals must be submitted no later than 11:59pm on December 20, 2024.

After submission, all proposals will be fully vetted through the University process. A list of vetted proposals will be reviewed and approved by the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students. The proposal list will be presented, discussed, and voted on by the full Undergraduate Student Senate in the form of a general bill on Monday, February 17, 2025 at 7pm in the Student Senate Chambers. Funds for approved projects will be communicated and available soon thereafter.

Upon submission of a Capital Improvement proposal, Catherine Taylor, Secretary of Undergraduate Student Senate, will reach out to schedule a time to meet to discuss your proposal in more depth.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Catherine Taylor - ctayl26@g.clemson.edu
