Associated Students at SJSU is the oldest student government organization in the state. Associated Students (A.S.) is a California non-profit corporation. The function of Associated Students is to serve the university by engaging in activities that further the academic mission of the university.
All affairs of A.S. are governed by a 13-member board of directors plus the chairperson. There are also three Executives who are responsible in administering the affairs of A.S. and to put into operation all the laws passed by the board.
Students registered at San José State University who have paid the student body fees are members of the A.S. These association fees generate about $5.8 million to form the yearly budget administered by the A.S. Board of Directors. The A.S. budget allows the student government to be a powerful agent on the campus, and to provide a wealth of programs and services to students.
A.S. money is available for campus recognized clubs and organizations’ events and activities. Interested organizations may pick up an application at the A.S. Government Office in the University House (in front of Duncan Hall) or visit the A.S. website. The A.S. Scholarship Endowment provides at least 20 $1,500 scholarships annually. The scholarship applications are available online.
