CEWIL iHUB Funding - 2025 (Round 1-3)

CEWIL iHUB grants will fund curricular WIL opportunities with a primary focus on 4 types:

• Community and Industry Research Projects (previously applied research projects) 
• Community Service-Learning WIL
• Entrepreneurial WIL
• Field placements
• Mandatory Professional Practicum/ Clinical Placements

Please note other forms of WIL (like co-op and internships) that highlight the key goals of the iHUB grant may qualify.

A minimum of $200, to a maximum of $1800/student experience will be available, provided it includes 1) student remuneration (of some sort); 2) minimum of one employer or community partner; and 3) a minimum of 20% in-kind or cash contribution from the employer/community partner.  

Examples that funding could be used for include:

• Direct student compensation or stipends (for unpaid EL opportunities)
• Direct student financial support (eg. a bursary program that enhances a WIL experience, decreases barriers, or leverages technology can be considered for funding)
• Event costs associated with running qualifying events
• Materials, supplies, or resources that decrease barriers to WIL (eg. adaptive technologies, disability-related supports, and specialized programming)
• Tuition fee credit for administrative services in winter semester
  

Successful projects will receive 75% of funding upfront, with the remainder distributed upon reporting requirements received.
