Examples of Extracurricular, Physical Education, and Fine Arts

Below are examples of UFA spending regarding the Extracurricular, Physical Education, and Fine Arts Categories. Extracurricular and Physical Education spending are both individually capped at 20% of the student's scholarship amount. Fine Arts is not to be categorized as Extracurricular and does not have a spending cap. 

Please note, these are guidelines based on the UFA Marketplace and Reimbursement portal and are subject to change.  These are not all encompassing, as in there may be eligible spending that falls into one of these three categories but is not currently listed. 

For more information regarding Physical Education spending please review our Physical Education Spending Guidelines.

If spending in one category is maxed out spending cannot be shifted to another category to work around the 20% cap. For example, if your student's sports program exceeds the Physical Education cap the overflow cannot be applied to another category.
