UGO Student Experience Grants
We're committed to ensuring that you make the most of your student experience. Funding is available to support you in professional skill development and creation of student-led initiatives.
UGO Student Experience Grants are available to current BCom students in good academic standing to offset expenses for a variety of experiences, including but not limited to:
Application process
Submit the online application by the deadlines stated. All applicants will be notified no later than October 17, 2018 for Term 1 funding, and February 13, 2019 for Term 2 funding. Successful applicants will be required to submit a letter of impact outlining the skills they developed through the funded experience.
If granted funding, individual applicants and student-led initiatives are not permitted to apply for funding again for a minimum of three academic years. For example, if funding is granted in the 2018-2019 year, an application for the same student or initiative will not be considered again until the 2021-2022 academic year.
Academic concession will not be provided for any student who misses coursework or exams due to any of the funded experiences.
