Student Technology Fee Innovation Grants – Fall 2023 | Application deadline: 12 p.m. Oct. 30

Do you have an innovative technology research project in mind? Do you need funding? A portion of the Student Technology Fee (STF) has been reserved to fund your innovative research projects.



To support the initiatives of the University, the Provost, Chief Information Officer and Student Technology Fee Advisory Committee (STFAC) updated the grant guidelines to support research and capitalize on the impact of the grant. STF grants should support technology-based research opportunities that show student impact. Each grant must also include a plan to disseminate the research results so others can benefit from this innovative work.

The grant is not designed to provide ongoing funding and must be used within the fiscal year budget guidelines. The grant is not designed to fund cameras, iPads or computers.  STF provides a bulk quantity of cameras, iPads and computers for checkout through Russell Library.

All grant proposals must have the approval and quote(s) from Information Technology. The Information Technology team will assist you with pricing and help to ensure your project can be implemented. Please submit a ticket at https://AskIT.gcsu.edu and note the quote is for a STF Grant.  Once you have a well-researched plan with a budget, please complete the Student Technology Fee Grant Request Form. 

After you complete your submission, a confirmation email will be sent. Please don't hesitate to contact us with your concerns and suggestions.

The deadline for application submission is 12 p.m. Oct. 30, so start planning. The STFAC will provide written notification of fund disbursement by Dec. 1.  Please contact the committee at stf@gcsu.edu if you have any questions.
