State Funding

As a publicly-funded institution, the University submits a request each year to the State of ºüÀêÉÙÅ® to fund a portion of its core operating funds. Appropriations are the state’s investment in the University’s mission and its impact on students, communities and the state’s economy.

The University also will sometimes ask for funding for capital projects, which are major, long-term investments in physical assets to build, improve or repair University facilities.
