  • The Foundation’s Funding Offer

    Funding varies from one project to another. The Foundation reserves the right to fund a project at a different level from that of the one requested.

    These funding limits allow for a better distribution of collected funds:

    • New project: up to $5,000
    • Recurrent project: up to $3,000*

    *A recurrent project with an explicitly innovative aspect compared to previous years may be eligible for a maximum grant of $5,000.

    Projects the Foundation does not fund:

    • College or university scholarships
    • Incomplete projects (missing documents)
    • Personal development projects
    • Start-up companies

    Note: Projects that count towards academic credit may be disadvantaged in their application unless the project extends beyond the course and benefits student communities.

  • Who evaluates the projects submitted to the Foundation?

    The ASEQ Foundation formed a committee to evaluate each project. The committee is made up of one representative from each student association that is a member of the ASEQ Foundation as well as ASEQ representatives.
