CLUB FUNDING RESOURCES

The Engineering Society
 
The Engineering Society provides funding to Engineering Clubs. To access this money you must follow a certain process and meet basic criteria. 
Criteria: 

Process:

 

The Professional Activities Fund (PAF)
 
The Professional Activities Fund (PAF) is used to support projects and activities that enhance the professional development of undergraduate engineering students. The purpose of the Professional Activities Fund is to support co-curricular activities and projects that lie outside, yet are complementary to, the engineering curriculum. The Fund is not intended to replace University-level or School-level funding that directly supports curricular activities. Rather, it is meant to support short-term student-initiated projects, subsidize student travel, and support sustainable activities that benefit the student body. The application form can be found using the link below.

Tuum Est Student Initiative Fund

The Tuum Est Student Initiative Fund has been established by the Associate Vice President, Students portfolio at UBC's Okanagan campus to provide financial support for student initiatives, conferences & competitions. The purpose of this fund is to bring your initiatives to life!​ Find all the information on the website linked below.

UBC Student's Union Office (UBCSUO)
 
To qualify for this funding your Club must be registered through UBCSUO to be eligible for funding. The form is an application only and does not guarantee your Club the amount requested. For more information, please e-mail the Student Associations Coordinator at studentassociations@ubcsuo.ca. Find the application linked below.

Sponsorship 
 
Sponsorship is a great resource to pursue when looking for funding, it is also very helpful in relation to funding applications as a common question is: "What other sources of funding have you acquired?". A sponsorship package and a corresponding professional looking pamphlet are key. If you are a new club and are needing assistance or advising on navigating the sponsorship process please reach out to our Vice President Corporate Relations and she or another qualified member of our team will be happy to assist you! Please find her email linked below. 

UBC Students' Union 

 

You can make a request to register a new club by filling out and submitting the Club Registration Form, available at the UBCSUO office in UNC133 or linked below. You may register a new club at any time throughout the academic year.  This will allow your club to be featured on their club directory page and receive funding from them.
