All MatE student fee money comes directly back to the MateE program

Since its inception, the MatE faculty have worked hard to find matching funds for the MatE college based fees (CBFs). Through grants and donor funds, we have added technology capability to the program and enhanced the quality of education.

Spending consistent with student plans for spending
