UASU Student Group Grants

To support the great work of student groups, your UASU runs the Student Group Granting program. Your UASU contributes $100,000 annually for both Events and Operations applications.

Event grants - This grant funds events either hosted or attended by members of student groups, which provide positive, practical experiences which will enhance the student involvement experience, and contribute to student group goals. 

Please note that to be eligible for funding, your events will still have to be approved by the Office of the Dean of Students Student Affairs team, otherwise the Students’ Union reserves the right to deny/rescind funding. Events that have not been approved by the Student Affairs team can still be considered for funding.

Operations grants - This grant supports a student group’s general operations. Costs affiliated with specific events are not eligible for this grant and should be requested through an Event Grant application. This grant is recommended to student groups in their start-up period (typically the first two years of operations), and for groups who are experiencing extenuating circumstances which have begun to cause problems with financial health and security of the club.
