Texas State Senate Bill 17

With the adoption of  State Senate Bill 17 on January 1, 2024, the Office of Sponsored Initiatives takes careful consideration to comply with both state and federal laws as we address the need of our South Texas College community.  While STC provides  comprehensive guidance on SB17 as an institution, OSI pursues funding opportunities that focus on the following points:

• Provide financial assistance to all.
• Invest in our students with unique or special circumstances by addressing individual needs regardless of socio-economic demographics.
• Bolster programs that prepare our students for the workforce and for continued education.
• Support collaborative projects for our faculty, staff, and administrators.
• Develop and improve infrastructure.
