External Funding

For students and subsocieties in search for external funding, please take a look at the following resources:

Arts Endowment Fund

The University of Waterloo offers the Arts Endowment Fund (AEF) for any students enrolled in the Arts Faculty, with the exception of students enrolled in the School of Accounting and Finance (they can apply to the Accounting and Finance Endowment Fund instead). 

For more information, please visit the Arts Endowment Fund.

Student Life Endowment Fund / Equity, Opportunity, & Innovation Fund

The Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA) offers the Student Life Endowment Fund (SLEF) for students looking to run student-led initiatives to improve student spaces, run a standout campus event, or launch a project that makes student life better! As long as the initiative meets the criteria, SLEF is for you! 

WUSA also offers the Equity, Opportunity, & Innovation Fund (EOI Fund) to assist with projects that bring awareness to systemic issues borne by marginalized groups on campus, support professional development opportunities like conferences and competitions, and fund the costs of new projects that benefit students on campus.
