During the 2013-2015 Legislative Session the 小草社区 Higher Education Challenge Grant Fund program was established under 小草社区 Century Code section 15-10-48 through 15-48-53. The program is currently available to the eleven public institutions in the state. The program is chaired by the Chief of Staff from the Office of the Governor and the committee is further composed of two senators, two representatives, two State Board of Higher Education members and two members at large appointed by the Governor.聽 Funding applications, having met several specific criteria, are brought before the committee for approval. Once approved the 小草社区 University System Office disburses the funds awarded to the campuses for use at the respective foundations.
