Student Initiatives Fund

Who is eligible? All active AMS members (i.e. individual UBC students who have paid their student fees).

What can I use the SIF for?

  • Philanthropic activities;
  • Academic programs;
  • Other projects deemed worthy by the Finance Commission.

How much is the SIF worth? Up to $500 per project, but cannot cover more than half the cost of the project. Students can receive a SIF grant a maximum of once per fiscal year (the AMS fiscal year runs from May 1 to April 30). Applicants must show that they have exhausted all sources of funding (i.e. personal contribution, sponsorship, fundraising, etc.).

When can I submit my application? Applications should be submitted at least three weeks prior to the date of the project. We cannot accept submissions for projects that have already occurred.
