President's Grant for International Community Engagement

The President's Grant for International Community Engagement seeks to encourage greater interest in and understanding of less developed countries by supporting students who want to participate in an international development experience. The grant will provide up to $5,000 for students to spend an extended period of time (minimum 6 weeks) working in a paid or volunteer role in a developing country on a project or projects that encourage educating and sharing of knowledge. Eligible applicants must be continuing students (undergraduate or graduate) and must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. In addition, students must secure a faculty mentor prior to applying. Applicants must be able to demonstrate an existing network or evidence of partnership with an organization in the developing country, either through their own involvement or through their supervising faculty members. Up to five awards may be given each year. Click on the links below for application process information.
