Student Funding Opportunities is broken down into two categories:

1. Student Group Funding:

Only Recognized Groups are eligible to apply for UWSA Student Funding Opportunities. Recognized Groups may apply for funding for the following:

Student Group funding is considered by the committee each month. For student group funding: APPLY HERE

2. Student Conference Funding:

The Conference and Travel Funding Request is closed. We will provide an update when the form is open as soon as we can. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

UWSA Conference funding aims to support students needing funding to bear a part of the expenses for attending conferences relevant to their academic studies and research at the University of Winnipeg. These funds are available for both undergraduate and graduate students. The funds can be used towards the cost of travel, accommodation, or other costs associated with attending an academic conference, a field course, practicums, or academic activities.
