There’s a hierarchy in ASG's funding method: organizations must achieve either A-status or B-status from ASG in order to receive any type of funding. A groups, like A&O and Hillel, receive the big bucks from ASG, while smaller organizations are classified as B groups. The graph below represents the dollars ASG allocated to A-status groups for the 2011-12 academic year. Select multiple groups or categories to see how they stack up.
