Summary
This grant opportunity offers financial support for students involved in higher education activities at a university campus in western Canada. The funding is available to individuals who are enrolled as students at that university and to student‑led campus groups recognized by the student union. It is intended to help offset the costs associated with educational and campus life experiences that extend beyond regular coursework, including attending professional or academic conferences, hosting events, and organizing educational activities such as lectures or workshops. The core intent of these funds is to encourage engagement, community building, and learning opportunities outside the classroom for students.
Award amounts can vary depending on the type of activity being supported. Individual students can receive up to about $1,000 to assist with expenses for attending a conference related to their studies, while group expenses for the same type of activity might be funded up to approximately $5,000. Student‑organized campus events designed to create community life or enhance the student experience can be supported with grants of up to around $2,000 per event. Larger educational activities such as on‑campus workshops, lectures, or small conferences that contribute to learning opportunities may be eligible for funding up to around $5,000.
To qualify, applicants must be registered students at the university and, in the case of events or educational activities, be part of a campus club or group recognized by the student union. The projects supported are usually intended to benefit the student body or enhance the academic and campus community environment. The funding is available specifically for students and student groups located on the campus in British Columbia where the student union operates, and it emphasizes cost‑effective use of funds that contribute to student engagement, professional development, and community building at the institution.
