What is the AUS Grant Fund?

The AUS Grant Fund Committee supports special projects that enhance student life. The fund is financially supported by the Arts Undergraduate students at Wilfrid Laurier University.


To be eligible for funding, projects must provide increased opportunity for students to engage in activities leading to improved personal health & wellness, leadership development, cultural development; or provide increased opportunity for Arts students to engage each other and their environment in a culture of learning outside of physical classroom space.

Preference is given to projects funds for a one-year commitment, and with an impact on a significant number of undergraduate students on your campus.

Below are some FAQ  
 

Who is eligible for funding?

 

Only clubs/associations and students under the Faculty of Arts are eligible for funding.

All applications (even from clubs under the Faculty of Arts) must demonstrate the relevance to arts students.

 

Do you have an initiative to enrich student life for arts students?

 

Individuals (not working with clubs or associations) can request funding for contributions to the arts student experience on campus. How much funding can my club apply for?
