Green Fund
The Green Fund is a student-approved fee referendum that will assess $3 per student per semester, raising up to $200,000 per year for campus sustainability projects. These projects will help UTEP's sustainability initiatives and the environment* by:
- Investing in renewable energy
- Promoting environmental sustainability on campus
- Providing educational opportunities such as student internships
- Increasing energy efficiency
- Conserving water and other resources
*Green Fund will NOT fund anything the university is already required to do by law or policy.

How are projects reviewed and funded?
The Green Fund Committee will oversee the funds. It will consist of five students, two administrators and one faculty member. Proposals for funding may be submitted for consideration by students, faculty or staff. Each proposal is reviewed by the Green Fund Committee and those with a majority vote of the Committee will be recommended to the University President for final decision.
How will I know where my money goes?
The Green Fund Committee records all funding allocations and provides an annual report to the Student Government Association and the University President.
