ASI Parking Fund

The ASI Parking Fund (APF) provides financial assistance to eligible CSUSM students towards the cost of a semester parking permit. 

In ASI’s 2025 Fall Survey, 488/542 (90%) students reported interest in parking assistance as a new ASI resource. The fund is intended to meet student demand and reduce the financial burden of parking for students. Eligible students may apply through the ASI Parking Fund application process, and awards will be determined through a random opportunity drawing.
