Student Senate BOSS Proposals: NOW OPEN!
This is a fantastic opportunity for Student Senate to support you. BOSS stands for Benefiting Organizations through Student Senate. BOSS proposals are a formal means by which Student Senate can fund student organizations and initiatives.
Though criteria are adjusted year-to-year, the only requirement of these proposals is that they must be open to and primarily benefit students. Proposals are submitted by individual students and are evaluated by the UNMC Student Senate Issues Committee. We will evaluate these proposals as they are submitted throughout the year and allocate funds as able. Proposals are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis; submit yours here!
