Cost Share: campus host sites are required to pay a modest VISTA member cost share of $5,600 per each awarded and filled full-time member. The Chancellor's Office recognizes that for some departments with limited operating budgets that this cost share amount may be prohibitive. We are offering a limited number of sliding scale cost share amounts (ranging from $2,500-$4,500) to awarded campuses.

If your department intends to apply for one of the limited reduced cost share amounts, please provide a brief justification for the request and include the following departmental information: 1) operating budget; 2) # of students served; 3) staff to student ratio; and 4) amount your office can reasonably cost share from the sliding scale and why this amount.
