Student Experience Innovation Grants

Do you have an idea that will build a meaningful sense of community and connection for students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences?

Overview

Through the Student Experience Innovation Grants (SEIG) program, students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences have the opportunity to access funding and partner with student leaders and university staff to make their project idea a reality. 

You will get the opportunity to:

  • Make a significant and meaningful impact on students in our community.
  • Gain practical experience applying the skills and knowledge you have learnt in your degree to a real-world project.
  • Receive mentoring and training with university staff to develop your project design, project implementation, marketing and communications, data analysis and reporting skills.
  • Build your resume and be considered for additional recognition through the Student Leadership Awards.

In previous years, SEIG has supported student-led projects like World Cup Night, Law Reform Project, Language Buddies, Therapaws: Dog therapy program, Sculpture by the Sea Coastal Walk, Australian Sporting Experience, World Mental Health Festival, Taronga Zoo Safari and more.

Log in to the FASS Student Community Hub Canvas to see past recipients of SEIG and learn more about the program.
