Adding Up the Costs

Planning the Budget

     This project will be a cooperative effort between Your College Connection, the Federal Government, local school districts, the University of Nebraska, cities and towns residing in Region X, and local businesses in Region X.  This proposal requests that the grant provide 50% of the building and operating costs per year for four years, payable to the Board of Directors of Your College Connection.  Other expenses for operation and maintenance will be covered by contributions committed to from private grants and philanthropical foundations.  It is believed that there is real value for these partners in research and local goodwill.
