Grants & Funding
MUNSU has a variety of different awards, grants and funding opportunities available to our members and ratified clubs and societies. The Student Life and Funding Committee meets every two weeks to review & vote on Special Project Grant, Individual Merit Fund, Recognition Grants, and Conference Hosting Grant applications throughout the semester.

Impact Award
The Impact Award is a financial grant awarded to a ratified club, society, or resource centre of MUNSU in recognition of their efforts to take-on a systemic, outcome-focused social change; and to examine the initiatives with critical and divergent thinking. Awards are not intended to help with operational costs of a specific event or initiative, but instead provide funding to build the group’s capacity inspired by a project. Awards will be capped at a maximum of $1000.
For the 2022-2023 year, we have given four $250 impact award mini-grants to different groups who have shown strong community involvement with MUNSU. Tune in later for applications for the 2023-2024 year!
