ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the various funding and staffing combinations associated with operating a PSE program. We discuss the historical budgets used within the University Participant (UP) Program over the last decade as well as more conservative possibilities with our current funding resources and operations. In addition, we conclude by sharing relevant braided funding opportunities in relation to fundraising, budgeting resources for a small amount of paid natural supports, and considerations for services available to all students throughout the university. We conclude with a few suggestions in relation to funding streams and selections of program staff impacting overall sustainability and success and/or potential failures with PSE programs.
