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.
