RSO Catering Application

Under the terms of UNK's exclusive agreement with Sodexo, an annual $25,000 Student Catering Fund has been established to support the catering needs of registered student organizations. The maximum amount a registered student organization may apply for is $1,500 per event with a limit of two grants per academic year allowed for each registered student organization. Selection is based on student events or activities that engage in the development of community and/or citizenship. This fund is designed to supplement a student organizations catering budget and is not designed to provide sole support.

The applicant is responsible for funds granted and will work directly with the UNK Dining Services catering manager to determine menus and make all arrangements. The catering manager may be reached at (308) 865-8637 or by visiting unkcatering.catertrax.com and selecting the contact us link in the upper right hand corner.
