Special Funding Process
In accordance with the Student Technology Fee Advisory Committee (STFAC) procedures, the committee may consider special requests for funding and recommend such requests to the CIO. Requests should follow the USG Technology Fee Guidelines. Priority will be given to requests that:
- Directly benefit students
- Assist students in meeting their educational objectives
- Benefit broad groups of students or the entire student population instead of specific students or groups of students
- Combine funding with funding from other affected parties
Special Requests for Funding will NOT be awarded for:
- Administrative hardware or software
- Specialized research equipment
- Items that do not have a direct impact on students’ instructional objectives
The special funding request is for items that do not qualify for the Innovative Technology Fee Grant. Calls for the Innovative Technology Fee Grant Proposals are announced every fall and spring.
The following steps should be taken as you prepare your request for consideration by the Student Technology Fee Advisory Committee:
Review the USG Guidelines to ensure your request is appropriate.
Obtain the approval of your immediate supervisor. Please submit an IT Help Desk ticket if you need guidance on a technology solution or a quote.

Student Technology Fee Special Funding Request Form
Please remember to attach your quote. Your submission will be shared with the STFAC Chair and CIO. Your request will be reviewed to verify it qualifies for technology fee funds. The proposal, if approved, will be included on agenda for the next scheduled meeting of the STFAC. The requestor will be invited to the meeting to share their request and answer questions.
