Granting

The Students’ Union and the University of Alberta jointly administer the Student Group Grants program. Funds are pooled from both organizations and given away to groups every year. There are five granting sessions, which occur every second month, starting in July. We cannot grant retroactively, so your event/conference must happen after the application deadline.

Application Deadlines:

• Monday, July 9, 2012
• Monday, September 17, 2012
• Monday, November 19, 2012
• Monday, January 14, 2013
• Monday, March 11, 2013

Granting Deadlines for 2012-2013 will be released at the beginning of April 2012 - and we will be moving the applications online! Email sgsmanager@su.ualberta.ca for more details.
