GPSC recognizes that graduate and professional student education is advanced by participation in student clubs and associations. Therefore, GPSC strives to support graduate and professional student clubs and associations in a manner consistent with its overall mission to serve graduate and professional students at the University of Arizona.

GPSC will give first preference in funding to those clubs engaged in activities that promote the academic and professional development of their members.

GPSC may also fund recreational, cultural, and social clubs in accordance with GPSC Club Funding Guidelines.

GPSC considers club funding as a supplement to a club's fundraising efforts, not a guaranteed base. GPSC expects that clubs will raise the majority of funds for their activities themselves.

GPSC expects that club leadership will work closely with GPSC to communicate the needs and interests of their members, as well as following up with GPSC after the conclusion of funded events.
