University financial policy tends to be dense and convoluted – so we are here to help.
Green & Gold will be a series of stories done by The Crow’s Nest which cover USF’s finances in terms of financial aid, student health and wellness, the USF foundation.
These stories will be spread over four months, with each topic allocated to a specific month. Coverage of finances and the financial aid department will extend through October.
November will mark the start of our coverage of student wellness. The plan for this coverage is to evaluate university funding given to student wellness departments. These departments range from mental health to physical health.
December will be a break period in our Green & Gold coverage, allowing for student focus on final exams.
In January and February, The Crow’s Nest plans to return to its coverage by evaluating the endowments and allocations of the USF Foundation. The USF Foundation “connects the university with donors who want to make a difference by providing private, philanthropic support to promote student success, academic initiatives, research and other strategic priorities of the University of South Florida,” according to its website.
Starting next week, readers can expect stories covering breakdowns of financial terms and other aspects of funding that students may not be familiar with.
