Cost-Share 

The UCBI program asks its partner organizations to participate in a cost-share for program sustatinability. Starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, we have introduced a cost-share sliding scale model for all organizations participating in the UCBI program based on organization type, size, staff capacity, and financial capacity. Please see the Prospective Host Organization Info Packet for more information.
