Funding Council

Funding Council is the elected body that represents undergraduate students enrolled in Mathematics at the University of Waterloo to the Math Endowment Fund. 

Each term, members are elected from the on-campus student body to be either year representatives or program representatives. These members meet to decide the allocation of the Fund's income between the various proposals that are received. Meetings traditionally happen towards the end of the term, in order to give applicants plenty of time to submit a detailed proposal for funding.

If you would like to be a representative on Funding Council, please fill out a Funding Council Nomination Form and submit it to the Executive Director by email. Please also clearly indicate in your email which committee position you wish to nominate yourself for.
