FY 2016 Appropriation

The Higher Education Technology Initiative (HETI) funding helps USHE institutions meet their technological needs. Appropriated funds are transferred to one account administered by the State Board of Regents. A consortium of institutions enters into enterprise software contracts on a state level, resulting in large discounts. Depending on the type of software license, fees are paid either at the consortium level or at the individual institution level.
