Redefine what’s possible for Math co-op students.
Many Math students aspire to walk a less conventional path.
They look beyond traditional co-op opportunities to advance a cause by working for a non-profit, joining an early-stage startup, or launching a new venture. Yet, to turn their passion into a paycheck, these students may need a little extra support.
The Experiential Student Success Fund will help the students who need it most.
Full-time undergraduate students enrolled in a Math co-op program are eligible to receive one of a limited number of awards, which will provide them with up to $3,000 of additional financial support to complete an unpaid, underpaid or flexible co-op term. These awards include:
• The First Co-op Support Award—Provides funding for first-term students to launch their journey.
• The Co-op for Social Good Award—Catalyzes community impact by providing support for students to join a philanthropic mission.
• The International Student Support Award—Helps international students to complete a co-op term in Canada or abroad.
The Fund also supports students with an entrepreneurial spirit by providing support to participate in well-established programs:
• Enterprise Co-op—Provides practical support and mentorship for students launching a venture or not-for- profit business.
• Bridging Entrepreneurs to Students (BETS) Specialized Co-op Program—Gives students an opportunity to contribute to a startup and learn about entrepreneurship.
You can help! Giving to the Experiential Student Success Fund will empower more students to be bold and embrace unique co-op opportunities.
The impact of early work experience can last a lifetime. We were motivated to give to the Fund in order to level the playing field for students so that they can advance their careers while still supporting themselves. For us, it’s all about equity and opportunity.
