I think funding for the iPad pilot project ultimately came from a donation to the College, although I'm not 100% certain. Donations and bequests from alumni and friends of the College are critical in endowing scholarships, providing for new buildings, and exploring new educational initiatives such as the iPad pilot. However, I suspect that if the program goes ahead for all Foundation Studies students from 2011/2012, then the cost of the iPads will be incorporated into the tuition fees.
