The SLPG receives its budget from a variety of sources which support collaborative efforts to sponsor student programs. Funding sources include the President's Office, the Dean of the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Dean of the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering, and the Dean of Student Life. These offices have provided funding for this committee to act as a clearinghouse for student group funding requests.
