The cost of individual STS tutoring is $4.50 per hour of tutoring. Students wanting tutoring are to purchase a tutor ticket at the cashier's window in Griz Central. The pink copy of the ticket is given to the tutor. Money is NEVER exchanged between the tutor and the tutee.

There are several programs that pay for tutoring for students eligible for their programs. Examples of programs that fund tutoring are: TRIO Student Support Services, Athletics, and Veteran's Affairs.
