The Madison Initiative Student Oversight Board ranked the second round of proposals for the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates funding Saturday and Sunday.
The MIU, which Chancellor Biddy Martin proposed last spring, is an additional tuition fee for all students.
The initiative aims to increase need-based financial aid, open up high-demand courses and to increase the quality of all practices at UW-Madison.
According to Associate Students of Madison Chair Tyler Junger, various schools and colleges within UW-Madison, like the political science department and the Office of the Dean of Students, submitted proposals for the funding.
He said most of the proposals asked for more teaching assistants or professors, and some were for specific services like the McBurney Disability Resource Center.
Junger said the board, which consists of several members of ASM, Dean of Students Lori Berquam and five UW-Madison students from across campus, read a total of 114 proposals submitted in late November, and gave each of them a ranking from one to four.
He said at first glance, the board gave only 19 of the proposals a ranking of one, and then later divided the top-ranked proposals out as well.
Junger said overall, he felt this round of rankings went much smoother than round one because the board had a longer time period to read over the proposals.
He added that he felt the submitted proposals were very well organized.
""There were very few problems,"" he said. ""The proposals were very clear in what they wanted, they seemed to be tailored to be very open as to what it is they were looking for.""
Junger said the proposals will be sent to another committee before they present their rankings and make suggestions to Martin on Feb. 16. He said Martin will then decide on which proposals to fund in late February or early March.
