The Student Government Programming, Support, and Initiatives Fund (PSIF) was created to support new student organizations, organizations hosting conferences on campus, and organizations who are hosting late-night programs for students. Applications are accepted throughout the year and are due 2-3 weeks before the proposed event. The Student Government Programming, Support, and Initiatives Fund (PSIF) was created when the LSU student body passed a $2.00 self-assessed student fee by a referendum in the Spring 2000 Student Government General Election (1999-2000 Student Senate Concurrent Resolution 24). This fee is assessed to all full-time students per Fall and Spring semester. The purpose of this entity shall be to distribute funds to support the Student Government Spring Concert Event, Homecoming Concert Event, and paid admission concert series, and to provide funding to Recreational Sports Club Teams, the chartering of new student organizations, student organization sponsored conferences, and late-night, alcohol-free activities. PSIF was amended in the Spring of 2002 to include the disbursement of a one time donation by the Coca Cola Company. This donation was broken into two funds including the Coca Cola Programming Support Fund and the Multicultural Leadership Cabinet Fund. These two funds have since been depleted.
The LSU student body passed a $1.00 self-assessed student fee by a referendum in the Spring 2002 Student Government General Election (2001-2002 Student Senate Concurrent Resolution 35). The purpose of this fee was to raise the current Programming, Support and Initiatives Fee to cover expenses incurred in the establishment of Late-Night, On-Campus, Alcohol Free Activities. The LSU student body passed a $2.50 self-assessed student fee by a referendum in the Spring 2005 Student Government General Election (2004-2005 Student Senate Concurrent Resolution 42). The purpose of this fee was to raise the current Programming, Support and Initiatives Fee to increase the Spring Concert Fund by $2.00 and the Paid Admissions Concert Fund by $.50.
The PSIF Committee has tentatively set its meeting days as listed below.

The Organizational
Relief Fund (ORF) is
designed to help
defray the travel
costs of full-time
undergraduate
students (graduate
students apply
through the graduate
school) traveling to
conferences,
conventions, or
competitions which
are educational,
academic, or
professional in
nature. Priority is
given to
representatives of
student
organizations,
University
departments, and in
some cases,
individual students
planning to attend
activities that
benefit and/or allow
representation of
the entire
University and not
just the
organization,
department, or
individual. The ORF
is a supplemental
source of travel
funds. The committee
expects
organizations to
secure funding from
other sources.
It is important to
note that the ORF
application must be
turned into Debra
Joseph, Office of
the Dean of Students
116 Johnston Hall.
All applications
must be submitted
and reviewed prior
to the travel date.
No post-travel
applications will be
reviewed. It is
strongly advised
that a
representative of
the organization
applying for ORF
funds attend the
meeting during which
their application
will be reviewed.
You will be notified
of the date your
application will be
reviewed when you
submit your
application to the
Office of the Deans
of Students
