Last year, the three projects chosen for sponsorship came from Athletics, which replaced the Statesman mascot suit; the Social Work Department, which replaced equipment for a Virtual Dementia Tour\u00ae; and the University Police, which replaced its bulletproof vests.<\/p>\n Funding for year two remains the same as from year one. Each sponsored project will be expected to raise $2,500, with help from Communications and Marketing. Each sponsored project that does so will get that $2,500 matched by the DSU Foundation\u2014so have $5,000 to spend. And the project that raises the most money will receive an additional $1,000\u2014meaning $6,000 total.<\/p>\n (Additional money raised beyond the $2,500 for each project will go to the General Scholarship Fund.)<\/p>\n
