1. Proposals must be for “student usage items” only. The committee is committed to funding items that are solely for student use. The following items do not qualify for funding and will not be funded: network infrastructure equipment, servers, salaries, furniture, laptops for instructional use, education tools for instructors, and projectors. It is very important and your cooperation will help in expediting the funding process. Review your proposal to ensure that it is for student usage.
2. The committee will fund laptops, PCs and software from the Dell contract at mid level or lower cost. If you propose to purchase lap tops, PCs, and software at a higher cost, you must justify the need for the additional cost.
3. The committee makes awards based on number of items funded, not on the dollar amount of the items on original proposal. However, the actual purchase cannot exceed the equivalent dollar value based on the unit price in the proposal.
