                        SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR 
U.S. Nonprofit Educational and Nonprofit Research Institutions.
                               ONLY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Program Overview
----------------

	Campus Catalyst, sponsored by Sun's Education and Research
	Marketing group, is a program designed to make it easier for
	academic and research software and hardware developers
	affiliated with educational and nonprofit institutions to
	become members of the Sun Catalyst Program.

	It has been created in recognition that a lot of excellent
	software is being developed in colleges, universities, and
	research labs, and that Sun does not have a program to attract
	and reward this software base.

	A new application form has been designed and has been
	distributed to U.S. sales offices.

	The catalyst program provides software and hardware developers
	with substantial discounts on their initial development
	systems. The catalyst catalogs are distributed through all the
	Sun sales offices.



Who Is Eligible to Apply?
-------------------------

	The Campus Catalyst Program is targeted at software and
	add-on hardware developers at accredited institutions of
	higher education, and at nonprofit research institutions,
	and affiliated institutions.

	Faculty or staff members are encouraged to apply to the program
	if they have or plan to develop products that are of general
	interest to other academic and/or commercial customers.  They
	must also show reasonable efforts to support and maintain the
	Catalyst product.  

	We are not encouraging students to apply since they are a
	transient population and may create "orphaned software."

	An individual or a department within a university can submit its
	own application.  There are no limits to how many Catalyst
	applications each institution may submit.

	Campus Catalyst discounts cannot be combined with any other
	education discounts.

Entry Requirement
-----------------

	The applicant must do the following:

	1.  Submit a completed Campus Catalyst application.

	2.  Submit a letter on university letterhead approving
	    distribution of the product.

	3.  Submit a project plan that contains the following information:

		-  Project summary
		-  Statement of Objectives
		-  Background of project
		-  Technical description of product
		-  Sources of funding for project
		-  Distribution and support plans
