URSA's Innovative Technology and Education Awards open each spring term and offer up to $5,000 to support purchases of technology-related equipment, or software to be used in student-based instruction and/or research or project work. ITE funds may be awarded in addition to other URSA awards in any given academic year. ITE awardees may only receive an URSA ITE award two out of every three years. Funds for these awards come from a percentage of student fees.
