000000XX (Type of funding)

These two digits further describe the specific fund, and correspond to LEVEL 4 of the fund. In general, these digits are both "0" for non-restricted funds, though they have also been used to further identify some specific approval funds within given subject areas (ex. 90018312 = Spanish/Portugues Inca Approvals).

Numbers from 1 to 50 have been used in the past for endowed funds, 50 and higher have been used for non-endowed funds.

8X identifies VLEF funds.
