The CSU’s operating budget has two main funding sources: the state General Fund and student tuition and fees. State funding covers 60% of the CSU’s operating costs, with tuition and fees making up the remainder. Auxiliaries and philanthropic support generate additional revenue needed for essential services that supplement state-supported activities.
