About the Student Technology Fee 

The UW Student Technology Fee (STF) was created by the Washington State Legislature [RCW 28B.15.051] and the UW Board of Regents in 1996 to provide for and enhance technology resources for students beyond the classroom environment. The STF is student-levied and student-distributed, with the STF Committee responsible for hearing and voting on a number of short- and long-term funding proposals each quarter. The $32 per quarter fee generates over $3 million in annual revenue which is distributed to nearly 100 UW departments, organizations, and student groups each year.  

 

The STF Committee is composed of representatives selected by the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) and the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS).  These representatives, or Committee members, are responsible for reviewing proposals, debating their merits, and rendering a decision. The Committee also includes several ex-officio members from UW Administration and other departments who provide additional support, context, and guidance to the Committee. The Committee is also supported administratively through Husky Union Building (HUB) staff, UW Office of Planning and Budgeting (OPB) staff, and the STF student staff.
