Welcome to the Pilot Phase of the Graduate Student Budget Board (GSBB)! 

The Graduate Student Budget Board (GSBB) manages the allocation process of a portion of the graduate and professional student portion of the student activity fees to registered graduate or professional student organizations. GSBB strives to provide funds for graduate and professional student organizations in a fair and equitable manner, consistent with the votes of the representative board of GSBB. The purpose of funds allocated by GSBB is to enrich the graduate and professional student experience at Virginia Tech both socially and professionally.

Note: During the pilot phase 1 (March 2021-August 2021), the funding of GSBB will be limited to Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) having “Graduate” in their title. 

This workshop is comprised of two components: 1) A Funding Workshop presentation and 2) an accompanying required quiz.

This course will open on Friday, March 19th, 2021
