Funding - Algonquin Students' Association

Student Leadership and Activities Funding

The Algonquin Students’ Association (SA) is proud to support and enhance your student experience during your time at Algonquin College.

The Student Leadership and Activities Fund exists to provide financial support for academic and co-curricular projects that enrich student life on campus. Funding is designed to empower students to plan and deliver events, activities, and initiatives that foster engagement, community, and learning within their programs.

Approved funding is typically a maximum of $500 per project, and approval is based on available funds and alignment with the criteria below. Note, due to limited funds, priority will be given to new applicants each Term.
