Student Fee Advisory Committee
About Us
SFAC is charged with evaluating Student Fee Funded Units and making recommendations on allocations of the student fees that every student pays while attending UC San Diego.
Our duty is to see that the proposed student fee uses are in the best interests of the university and its students, and in compliance with existing policies and guidelines.
The committee is comprised of students, faculty, and campus administrators, with students comprising a substantial majority. The committee compiles and submits annual recommendations for allocations of student services fees.
For more information, refer to the SFAC Charter.
Innovation Grants
SFAC will award up to $250,000 in a series of one-time grants for innovative ideas that address emerging student needs. Grant amounts will range from $20,000 - $70,000, and each proposal will be evaluated on two qualitative and two quantitative criteria (see the Powerpoint resource for details). Applications are due Friday, January 23, 2026.
