Student Project Grants

The Faculty of Science Student Project Grants provide financial support for student-initiated projects and activities that promote experiential learning and student engagement. Applications are accepted throughout the year, including the summer term.

Eligibility: You are eligible to apply if you meet all of the following conditions:

• Registered in an undergraduate degree program in the Faculty of Science;
• Clear academic standing; and
• Registered in at least 3 courses during the semester during which the project/conference takes place (An exception exists for projects that occur during the summertime: students are not required to be concurrently enrolled in three courses in such cases. But in all cases, students must not have completed all their degree requirements before the project/conference occurs).

Students working on a group project are encouraged to submit a single group application. In such cases, the application form must be filled out by at least two co-applicants, each of whom meets the three conditions above.

Level of Funding: Normally, each application (whether from a group or an individual) may request no more than $850 per academic year. Projects may be awarded the full amount requested, a partial amount, or no funds. Normally, applicants may apply for only one Student Project Grant per academic year.

Application Deadline: Applications are being accepted on an ongoing basis throughout the year beginning on June 1st through to March 30th for any given academic year.
