TMT is also going to trade time with other telescope contributors to give UH students 7.5% viewing time on the TMT itself, which is unprecedented.

FWIW -- TMT has already started funding STEM programs since construction began at about $3 million/year even though the construction was stopped they are still funding the education programs with the hope TMT will clear the last legal permit.
