Student Organization Finance Office

Welcome!

The Student Organization Finance Office (SOFO) provides financial support to ensure the success of Georgia Tech’s student-led organizations.

SOFO serves as the student groups’ on-campus bookkeeper by effectively managing collected dues, fundraising, and expenditures as well as travel planning, expenses, and reimbursements.

We support these student organizations by assisting them with their financial management needs.

Before You Make a Non-Travel Purchase

Do not purchase first unless SOFO has confirmed that reimbursement is permitted.

Georgia Tech requires student organizations to use approved procurement methods whenever possible. Non-travel personal-fund reimbursements are limited to allowable situations and generally may not exceed $1,500 per event.

Purchases for services, consultants, speakers, coaches, rentals, awards, and other personal services must be processed through Georgia Tech and cannot simply be reimbursed to the individual.

Travel expenses are handled separately and may be reimbursable under Georgia Tech's travel policies.
