Student Technology Fee
The Student Technology Fee Committee would like to hear from you!
泫圖弝け assesses a Technology Fee to ensure students have access to the latest instructional technology resources available. The fee is earmarked for instructional technologies to keep Pace up to date with the technology needed for todays teaching and learning methodologies. All revenue generated from the technology fee goes directly towards funding instructional technology initiatives.
A committee comprised of students and IT representatives from each school will review proposals and vote to select discretionary initiatives receiving funding each year, with annual reports to be provided to the Pace community.
Fee Proposal Eligibility Requirements

The Technology Fee is intended to fund projects and initiatives that benefit the largest amount of the student population possible.
